Agreed (with NH), but it all becomes much more complicated when you introduce deaf children into the mix. By the time a person can actively choose to have a cochlear implant, the brain is less capable of adapting to it. Some people who have them later in life choose to have them removed due to over-stimulation. By choosing not to have an implant for your child at an age when they can more easily adapt to it, you could be removing their chance of having any viable hearing.
