Believe me I've seen it all too often, just glad we've reach to the point where Cochlear implant finally become reliable and sturdy for everyday use.
it's always fansicating how baby behave after they've first start listening, some of them cry, hated it, some of them found it strangely bizarre and some of them act like they've found a new unexplorable sense.
Just saw this. My mum's been part of the cochlear implant team at Addenbrrokes and more recently the Royal Free for about the last 15 years. She just retired last month. I know quite a few of the people who work there. It is a fascinating field.

No. There's another video in which they try to tip the fucking thing over by kicking it. It does not.

I also notice that the older they are, the more they hate it (after they got cochlear implanted), I should know since I started wearing hearing aids way too late at the age of 2, hated it so much that I went and flush £2,000 worth of hearing aids down the bog after being too comfortable with the sound of science since I was conceived.
thank fuck for the NHS.

I was working at this community project where we got people to work on bike repair skills.
One deaf kid used to be brought there regular as clockwork, by his social worker, he didnt seem that into it and was prone to temper tantrums.
He used to always smash up his hearing aids which made his parents distraught. They were worth thousands, but whenever one would feedback/squawk slightly he would lose it, and just smash it up.

That's something not uncommon amongst deaf children to have tantrums, especially if they've only just started wearing hearing aids way too late in their life (like 2 years old).
to put it in perspective, your hearing has already developed while you were in your mother's belly.
Remember hearing aids technology has only reach to the point where it's finally become reliable, in the past they're more akin to a very cheap hifi (like an £30 argos one) with the volume at maximum setting, that's how hearing aids sound to me in the past, like a poorly processed mp3 files that has been recorded straight from the radio.
I used to have a lots of tantrums when I was a child from the age of 2, my brain wasn't used to hearing noise, I literally though that's how thing are, in silence, and my brain think it's perfectly normal, so imaging being forced to endured something you've never experienced before for the next few years (especially the feedback when the hearing aids isn't fitted properly) before your brain finally work out that's the sound it's hearing is normal.
right now everything sound normal to me, partly because of the recently introduced digital hearing aids (old one were basically microphone that you put in your ear and amplified the sound enough so you can hear it), as well as being very used to wearing it in a daily basis.

I'd rather have a waste of taxpayers money being spend on several hearing aids than parents not being able to afford the equipment needed for their child and therefore never get the support it needed enough to the point that it'll severely crippled their option in the future (like jobs for instance).
if it's already hard enough for me to get a job due to my disabilities despite being able to speak (and listen) reasonably well, imaging how much harder it is for person who only brought up on sign language.
I've known parents in America who couldn't afford the right equipment for their deaf child having to resort to sign language/home education on top of school (as well as dropping a year or two behind).
Taxpayers' money is there for a reason.

my cousin (who lives in a small town in oz) was a very disruptive child and his parents and the social services din't know why. he was diagnosed with evrything, ADD, dislexica etc, and basically ritten off.
then he whent for a hearing test and it turned out he was def, he was about 11 years old. THANK fuck for the NHS indeed, as i dont think that would have happend here... -

I was saying that the price of the hearing aids alone make it a lots harder for the parents to afford, especially the working class family, like my example above.
Hence my praising to the NHS.
