Holding them down by scare unfounded tactics only goes to show you how pathetic most of the deaf world reacts

I 've read your comment. I still disagrees what you said about the drs are not steal your money. Can't you see drs out there don't cares about the child and adults of any ages ..they just want the child to be PERFECT like a hearing world.? Can't you see they just don't want the child 's identiy!?Can't you see they don't want deaf people to use the sign languages.? All they just want this world are for HEARING WORLD only. God didn't created the world for perfect human being. God created the deaf who they are and included me. I have been against CI for years. I have been profound deaf all my life and I will be 50 yrs old and look here I am through all my life and I am fine! Why should they worries about the deaf people ? Leave them alone! They will growing up and be fine all is well with them . God has a reason to created them to be deaf because He knows who will be. DEAF people are beatuful in His sight! Not drs. Having surgery and put CI in my brain makes me feel like they are controlling them like a robot! sign lanuages IS ASBOUTLEY BEAUTIFUL! You can choose when to wear a hearing aid anytime and when you are ready for bed and you can take it off ..peaceful sleep! CI ..you can't ! I also feels like deaf people are the victims and it sure is and they drs who ever they are don't understands what is like to be a deaf themselvies. Being deafness is no big deal to worry about it ;s just a ear . I am so glad I have 80 percents eyeisght that are more improtant than ears. They need to STOP and leave the DEAF alone! DRS can make mistakes and they are not 100 percents intgellient! How ignorant they tried to push awya the deaf wold! -Daneen To mark. I ‘ve read your comment.

Whoever read my comments ..hope this is my opinion and feeling why I have always been against C.I. I have been profound deaf all my life !When I heard about the CI about 15 years ago I knew I didn't like it right away and defend it not to accepted it. I know we as the Deaf world always stays strong the feeling we have is Deaf Pride of who we are. I have experienced from the hearing people and some friends that tell me "why not " for me to have C.I and they thinks it was wonderful. And yet I said to them 'no and it's not!" So many reasons I had to say to them. Then come with my husband of 27 years . He thought it was cool when he heard about the C.I. but he knew I wil never accepted it. But he accepted me and my feeling of who I am and loves me. I have heard and met some of the C.I . people .They said they are not happy with it and put it away. I didn't say anything to them because let them learned and feels their experienced. Some said like it . Now here I am find on this website of Jack's eyes. I 've learned so much more from the person who share their testimony and videos. It's makes me sad and makes me angry for the hearing parents and people who put their high hopes on the deaf. I 've always knew the hearing people should not look down to the deaf people and think they deaf are the bottom and hearing people are the head . I always beleive in my heart my soul and my mind that God created them of who they are included me. I am happy for who I am ! I do wears hearing aid daily and I always happy and my choice I can take it off and on when I want to. iImostly thank my hearing parents for me they never gve up on me. We had a good life and spend time with me. I wentto deaf school and I am thankful for that. Until now I have seen and heard how sad that some of the deaf schools are not for the deaf students anymore. So we as the Deaf people need to stand up and fight and let the hearing world know who we are. And tot he CI programs they need to STOP it! So to the deaf people.. stays strong and keep beleiveing who you are. My favorite sign"DEAF POWER" :-)Hey deafies..if you wan tot keep in touch with me.. my emial is DANEENLB@hotmail.com :-) Hello!
