It used to be that ADA cases were dismissed based on migitating factors, for example, if one had cochlear implant, he/she would not be considered disabled. So, the new ADA revision removed that, anyone with any assistive devices that improves any disabilities are still considered disabled.<br /><br />So, legally, the answer to your question is: yes, cochlear implant users ARE deaf.Candyhttp://candysweetblog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288524896384762841.post-40424039734027956252011-11-02T03:50:47.847-04:002011-11-02T03:50:47.847-04:00The comparison of deaf with a CI/Hearing Aids, wit...The comparison of deaf with a CI/Hearing Aids, with a person who loss his legs is a wrong one, especially when he/she is doing well. It is like you are saying that a person with glasses is called blind.

We have a rich website that supports the reasoning for cochlear implants http://www.tinyurl.com/deafbabies with plenty of heart warming videos. Not to mention that our agency is moving on upwards with newer medical technology to mitigate hearing loss as our powerpoint presentation we presented in San Diego http://tinyurl.com/stemcellfixdeaf earlier this year. The best life journey for babies with hearing loss begins with sound, listening, and then speaking. Finally, ignore the deceptive propaganda charades by the deaf extremists stating that cochlear implants are a form of child abuse and they also claim that deaf kids without sign language are deprived and isolated by society.Nesmuthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288524896384762841.post-32716048169304094212011-10-27T21:20:05.143-04:002011-10-27T21:20:05.143-04:00I think you misread.
