Cochlear Implant: Being Forced To Wear

Closed Caption is available.
Summary: Sharing my concern about a deaf child being forced to wear cochlear implants all the time even if she doesn’t want to. She had one on and didn’t want a second one but is required to wear BOTH at all time per judge.
UPDATED: The video to Missoula Moanings no longer available for legal reasons.

[..YouTube..] but since I could hear once, and I still remember the sounds and stuff I would like very much to hear better again because hearing aids have no effect at all. As for the kid from the video let’s just hope it won’t happen to anyone else and that she might be allowed to enjoy her childhood.
[..YouTube..] OOH and one more thing lol you don’t have to wear the CI to sleep unless you want to, you didn’t know for sure if she was forced to wear if while sleeping, but the docs even ask not to because it might break or something.
[..YouTube..] @MusicAtmo Haha I thought it was funny.
[..YouTube..] @seekgeo Yeah, the mom’s attorney pulled a fast one. He filed for default, meaning he thought he was going to win. But we find out how to stop that. So then, the judge continue(postpone) trial to July 20. BUT he have modification hearing BEFORE the contempt trial!!! That’s right. Last week on June 29. The father tried to argue this was wrong and postpone custody change hearing to July 20 too, but NO Judge wouldn’t do that. So Mom got her way and father not get much time now with child.

[..YouTube..] Thank you SOOOOO much for putting captions! My 11 year old was implnated with one 2 months after she lost her hearing (meningitus) and I know next to nothing regarding peoples “experiences” with these. And most videos I come across are just people signing with no captions…..makes it very hard to do any research for me. :)
[..YouTube..] i think no-one should be forced to wear it. my sister is profoundly deaf and we got offered the C.I. when she was 1 and a half and again when she was 5 and again when she was 8. we got asked again when she was 10 and my sister wanted to so we went ahead with it. i think the child should decide when the even want the surgery and definatly should decide when they wear it.
[..YouTube..] @sandyabernathy LMFAO your wrongly mistaken. I love it when deaf people think cochlear implant are SOOO bad but really its not. I was born deaf and wore hearing aid but did not help me so I got cochlear implant THANK GOD! I still use my cochlear implant for almost 17 years now. Also Cochlear Implant cannot kill you. Shessh it would be nice for all you deaf people to get some education and english writing too.

[..YouTube..] @scenexbam It’s amazing you find my thoughts so funny. I am also a nurse. And YOU CAN get an infection and if that were to happen, you can die because the auditory nerves and cochlea are close to the brain. Also, not all people’s bodies accept foreighn materials. Had hypoallergenic tubes put in and the body rejected it, and puss and blood pushed the tubes out. So much for that surgery as well. Not all surgeries are for all peoples. It’s fact.

[..YouTube..] @scenexbam, it doesn’t matter if Sandyabernathy is right or wrong. her point is from medical viewpoint. The entire point of this video is FORCE. I am glad that you enjoy your CI but not everyone shares your sentiment. Several doctors recommended to my mother for me to have CI. She ASKED me if I wanted ONE. I told her NO. She respected that choice. Today I’m proud that Mom offered me that choice instead of being forced. Even a year ago, my audiologist recommended for me to get CI at age 35. LAME!
