cochlear Implant

[scottishwee35]

Hi

Of course, it is xmas

Last Saturday, I got assulted from Deaf Club!! :mad2: Four womans told me that I am cruel mother for putting my daughter cochlear implant. :confused2

My daughter is 8 years old now and she love her implant and she is talking and hear much more than I do.

I never went to Deaf club for one year until I went for Xmas merries with my 7 good friends then I got assulted from another 4 womans. I walked out and got escape from one woman who want hitting me!!

My husband was really furious, when I walked out and he came back and spoke to that woman and she got burst crying. As she was drunk.

I know that deaf communications never understand why I put my daughter implant cos my daughter have no hearing at all she got 160 below. Hearing aid wont work for her.

Why cruel people as we know them very well turn out horrible to me. :mad2:

I am sick that we are going out for casino meals for Hogmanay and fin dout that two woman will be there.

As my good friends, my ex sister in law and her boyfriend are coming with us.

Two woman are working for Deaf Action!! Should I report their manager about it?

What can I do?

That sounds nasty Deborah. If the women are working for Deaf Action, then all ways of helping the hearing impaired should be accepted and encouraged, and if your daughter is doing so well then it can only be the very best you could do for her.

I suppose if the women were on a night out they weren't actually working, so it might be difficult to report them, but I am not really sure what I would do.

Oh, I am so sorry to hear that. My friend (in the USA) has a daughter with 2 cochlear implants, and she says it has been amazing for her. You have to do what is best for your daughter, and what others may think is totally irrelevant.

my wife has had both ears done and it changed her hearing totally. go for it

Deborah, she's your daughter and it's your business what decision you made for her. I do know that some deaf people feel very strongly about implants ie against them, but it's disgusting how these women treated you, it's way out of order. :mad2:

I really hope you manage to enjoy your meal out, just ignore them, they are not worth your energy.

(((HUGS))))

I def. would report her, thats not acceptable.

we took our son to a deaf society xmas party, he lasted 5 minutes. he has never went back and so much so that when the school tried to intoduce him to the deaf club at lunchtime he said no.

hope I am not going to offend anyone here but sometimes deaf adults come accross as being slightly aggresive. although what happened to you was assault .

as for the cochlear implants, that is your business no body elses, if it enhances your daughters quality of life what right do they have to tell you not to have done it.
we felt we got pushed into teaching our son sign language
, which he didn't need to do so we never.

can you not enroll your daughter in clubs otherwith the deaf club.

That doesn't sound like the sort of club I'd want to belong to! You have made a judgement about what is best for your child and that is your decision, it's not for anyone to agree or disagree and certainly not reason for an assault. I wouldn't hesitate to report them to their manager.

Whatever their personal choices for themselves or their own family then that is their business. For you and your daughter it's your business and no-one elses. Even if people don't agree with your choices they should keep that to themselves and not comment unless invited to. They certainly have no right to be agressive about it - that really is out of order. I would certainly consider having a word - they're not a good advert for Deaf Action are they? It's a bit of a pet hate of mine when groups or even individuals make judgements on other peoples' situations when they don't even know the people concerned and their way is the only way. You make your own decisions for yourself and your family as you know them best. Don't let these small-minded people worry you. I'm sure that fi they're happy with their choices then that's fine but they should be adult enough to acknowledge that not everyone will make the same choices and deal with that without acting aggressively towards others and surely shouldn't be doing that in the name of an organisation.
