Dear DeafRead Editors:

Dear DeafRead Human Editors, JJ, Elizabeth, Amy, Carrie, Jared, and Tayler,

I am in discord. I’m frustrated and disappointed with this turn of events. As a deaf person, you have violated my trust and my respect. JJ left a comment on Ben’s blog. I have not heard anything from any other of the Human Editors. Here is my comment from Ben’s site:

“What is interesting is most of us CI bloggers don’t agree either. We have different opinions on CI, AVT, ASL and all, but we seem to be united in our support for Rachel.
At least you have this inside view from your friendship. That is great! I don’t have that. I have to go by what is posted.
Is this a plot to remove CI blogs from DeafRead? Since DeafSide has not happen. I don’t know. All I know is that it validates how my family and I were treated 37 years ago when my mom reached out to the Deaf Community and was turned away. Same views different times.”

I am asking each of you your answer to my comment. Thank you, Valerie

Natural methods versus Man Made, which dangerous sides are we on?

Natural versus Man Made, which dangerous sides are we on?

 

Few nights I was looking at the many negative side effects of CI itself that causes more tripled disabilities for those Deaf babies/children or adults but more so on those Deaf children ’s right to protect their own health sakes from people who believe in Natural methods. I STILL don’t feel any parents should have their right to mess around with their Deaf children ’s body property that belongs to an individual not you or anybody else.  This is not a  death matter for Deaf children who are a legally deaf after they born or becoming deaf in early age or teenager ’s age without Hearing device. AND Cochlear Implant is the matter of Life and Death that includes a  real server problem with their health and CI mechanic killer. 

 

The reason is that Deaf community who are willing to welcome people (who have a faith in us all along) and educating  Deaf children who can learn how to deal with their  cope by or for being deaf and accept it as is.  There is no way to get rid of our Deaf impacts in our lives.  We should able to show the true natural abilities by our own true inner soul as is. We do not need to have Hearing people to have their own puppet or gueina pig to control your lives and decide what s the best for us after all, too many mistakes have been carried on and on for so many years  that NEEDS to be stopped for their self esteem’s sake to be take care of their own level of understandings first.  They don’t really know what they are doing it to us all along from day one. Sighs!

 

I found this Mishka Zena s blog. http://blog.deafread.com/mishkazena/2008/01/23/results-of-cochlear-implant-survey/ .  I agreed with her comments in some ways after all, I was attacked, abused or prevented to tell the truth that had been removed so many times by AUDISM people  who wants to destroy ASLan people so badly for ten years that I will never forget this happens to me and many other Deafies that has not changed a bit in a real life if you mind.  This is why I DON’T TRUST the Medical professionals, Hearing owner of their sites,   CI radicals, parents, and  some latened deaf and d/Deaf CIERS with a very stinky or negative attitudes.  I read some people s comment that turns me off about their own positive about their own cochlear implant that it doesn’t harm them at all. I don’t believe these people anymore because I had a surgery once and doesn’t go away with the pains for a while but it s still annoying in a way from where my surgery was applied to my own body. It was never the same conditional from the original one without the surgery. I can feel the difference if you mind.  Deaf people have their own sensitive feelings in their own bodies more than you do because we use the “feelings” to feel it if you care enough to listen to us, ASLan people who knows what they are saying it. As far as I am not talking about the emotional feelings. Thanks! Yeah, wait until few years or so this is going to be you that  will get a real problem with your health before you know it.

 

Also, the whole ten years on the internet , I am not impressed those Ci Radcials and the parents who have a very negative view of our being deaf Deaf school and many more as is.  They don’t want to use ASL from a start that has still keep going on and on for those Deaf children’s rightful to have ASL from a start. That’s why we have BI BI languages at first to have real communication between both sides. THIS IS ASL AND ENGLISH WRITTEN that is a huge equal communication between both sides.  I couldn’t believe how dare / selfish people keep Deaf children away from American Sign Language while Hearing children can have it.  American Sign Language is for Deaf children however, it will help Hearing children to have real communication with us Deaf people as well.  Why does it have to turn out into a very negative remark about our American Sign Language  or Deaf languages by these people who doesn’t have any faith in us, ASLan people and our natural abilities and adaptations.  Also, people forgot there are hearing people who couldnt speak but can hear as a natural hearing person. They have their right to have American Sign Language as well.  Dont take that away from them too if you mind.  Sighs!

 

American Sign Language or Deaf languages of the Deaf community that doesnt have any harmful or destroy our minds, body, and soul. It s more freely from getting any more damages or cost of money.. That is the only thing  Hearing people damaged our American Sign Language that was created more artificial languages that destroys our true native visual language.  That reminds me of what White Men did to Native American people and stole their lands and destroy their native true languages. And mind your own business since we have Deaf community that is a good reason for us to get gatherings between Deaf and Hearing people altogether as much as we can respect each other.  Some of them do not want to be part of Deaf community which is fine with me, however  leave us alone that works so well without having the lack of communicatioin that is coming from Hearing world.  Meanwhile we did wearing Hearing AID device that helps us to speak fair, good, and best speech that is typical for any Deaf people s lives. It’s not gonna to change for a better from Cochlear Implant device.   NO such thing about the best device after all, all of hearing devices are damaged to our Deaf ears that you will not able to FIX or CURE our Deafness as a secondary. SO BE IT!   We do not hear the spoken languages in a long run if you mind since you are wasting my time to find something that you can destroy everything that is many good causes for us to have without Hearing devices.  It is just all about money and fix your own emotional feelings that makes you feel better to be a Hearing wanna to be.  It is not always successful if you mind.  You will have to live with your own issues that you hate yourself as well. Scoffs!  

 

Deaf will be always deaf.   Face the Deaf Reality.  So be it!

 

It s  a real must have their HEARING STANDARDS that are the real double standards toward Deaf babies/children and adults for so many years.  That’s why I am so against those hearing devices since they do not respect you as a Deaf Human Beings from day one. They don’t respect your own natural abilities and adaptations from day one again.   They don’t give a hoot about us ASLan people after all those man-made is not helping you for having a better health.  They created us more problems into Medical health issue that is not a very positive outlook at all.

 

This is no misconception of Cochlear Implant issue that I’m giving it out at all if you mind. They think I am as they want to cover the truths as usual ..However, they are not being honest with you all along because they have their own CI device.. Whooppeee dooooo!  I don’t give a damn if you dont or do have CI device that are no difference behavior reactions between  Hearing Aid device and Cochlear Implant device if you mind. 

 

Soon , I will put all those health risk lists for those innocent Deaf babies/children who did not asking for it after the parents who thinks they have their own power to destroy their  babies/children s natural abilities/adaptation that has been damaged more than ever all along, too.  Then those Deaf children will have more severe problem into their health and loss of real communication as well. This is a real sickness behavior by those people who think they have their own rightful to conform or forcible toward their own Deaf children’s lives.  They don’t own them however, they should give them a good life with a reasonable education to teach in their childhood in a very positive reinforcement without having the negative impact toward Deaf community or our True Visual Language that is our Deaf languages of the Deaf community in this society.  Many of Deaf children did not know until they gets older and found out about the Safety of Natural abilities of the Deaf community  that is very total selfish  and not a very good reason to keep it secret all along.  That’s the issue of their own negative ATTITUDE as well.

 

Thank you for your time to read it.

Now you see the real fact of Death Warrant by CI devices

• Now it s time to show the evidences that the articles has been removed quickly from their newspaper all along.. I have the copies to prove three Deaf human beings’ death that Deaf children and Latened deaf adult ’s death by CI devices itself . As far as I know there are more than 20 CI deaths already by the bottom of my heart with no doubts, however, I strongly knew that  they are hiding the fact of Death Warrant for a long time that has not been told by Medical professionals and FDA. 
• 
  
• What ’s so  good about CI device after having an surgery to repeat it two or three times if it sn’t working or is defective or  breakable.  That’s totally damage toward Deaf children ’s ears that has some natural sounds in their own deafness.  Scoff at ya!!!!  LEAVE OUR DEAF NATURAL SOUNDS ALONE!  What’s more if it ’s not working for any Deaf children that leaves CI device inside the human being’s head because Dr thinks it  s not a good idea to remove it.  It can kill you, too that had already happens to Deaf person as I knew the story that no one knew about it.  Nothing is safe for any human beings that should not be done inside our body without anyone s permission from a human being child, in a long run.  It should be ban immediately after too many deaths going on with Deaf children and adults.  
• 
  
•  It is not a lifetime guarantee for Deaf children to be a hearing person as a permanent after all it s robot is programming you and your mind as brainwash into a human being ’s mind if it s artificial hearing that becomes disorted the noise sounds as well.  It is too wasteful to have those death warrant and evil money that they profits from these  Deaf children or adults who are always be deaf as is. People need to face the Deaf reality and cope with their Deaf children and ASL.  GUESS WHAT, you make Deaf children into more DEAFER that is a real joke for you to damage our Deaf ears all along that does not fit  a SHADOW HEARING person into Deaf person because AUDISM ’s  Nasty / Negative ATTITUDE hasn’t bit changed about our ASLan people of the Deaf community  at all. They don’t understand or get it that is their issues  as well as I dont feel Medical professionals or Parents have their rightful to take over Deaf children ’s body property  that needs to have Deaf children’s  rightful to be protection for their own boundary lines. 
• 
  
• NO respect that has been very disrespectful toward Deaf babies/children ’s lives from day one.  DEAFNESS IS NOT A DISEASE itself while human being ’s mysterious organs that has damaged for some reasons. NO one can fix it or cure it..  Face the Deaf Reality.  Leave our Deafness as a secondary  alone if you mind.
• 
  
• Also, I STRONGLY don’t agree to have those Deaf children who have to deal with any hearing device so they have to depend on it like co-dependency on man-made  while Hearing people ruins Deaf children ’s natural abilities and adaption works for them  all along. That is very harmful to destroy Deaf babies/children’s own natural abilities/adaptation by their being deaf from day one.   Force them to hear while they cannot hear the spoken language itself that is very outrageous for any hearing people to conform and forcible toward Deaf babies/ children.  This is absolutely is very sickness behaviors by those Medical Professionals / Parents / Governments and many more.
• 
  
•  CI is full of HOAX and SCAM  that is all about the dirtying money that the CI company  are making a big profits from Deaf children all along. This is very cruel inhuman treatment toward Deaf children s plenty of  the plight of the suffering  that hasn’t stopped yet as usual.   CI devices are NOT REQUIRED for them have it that has  going on and on that is conformity and forcibly by the parents or Hearing professionals.  We , as  a former Deaf children with their experience with or without hearing devices who wants to stop this happens to any Deaf babies/children now.
• 
  
•  My strongest concern is that the ignorant parents need to chill out and should learn ASL for their Deaf children ’s rightful to have it from day one without depend on those Medical professionals who doesn’t have a good view of our Deaf children who will become an Deaf adult who will face the hardship of their attitudes.. Be  more respectful  of your Deaf children ’s  true natural abilities and adaptations that should come first  and first serve.  Deaf babies are not born to Medical Professionals and government that has no right to control and decide for each individual ’s lives in this society, if I have to remind you over and over again. Overall,  this is not a good  health for any Deaf children to have CI device itself after all those more and more additional of negative side of effects that Deaf babies/children who will have deal with the high Medical bills and  live with it for nothing. That is exactly what the ignorant parents did to these Deaf babies and children for nothing.  
• 
  
• The reason is  the parents believe everything in their own Medical/Religious cults world that we, a true natural born who struggled to stay out of their evil cults in a big time. What’s more the parents doesn’t listen to us Deaf people of the Deaf community with  a very positive outlook who tried to tell the truth  for so many years that has been prevent us, Deaf people’s outspoken from our true experiences that had been faced the hardships for nothing by Audism people  who did  this  all along for many years. That makes sense that it s a real DEATH WARRANT in their lifetime.  
• 
  

1.  Is it  the same concept of the  Versus  between Death Warrant and Deaf Warrant?  People thinks Deaf as Death, the way they pronoun the word for us to read their lips.  YEEEESSSS!!!!!!. SCOFFS at ya!
2. Deaf will be always deaf.   So be it!
3. Deafness is not a disease if you must know that.  So be it!
4. . It s totally wrong to keep Deaf children away from other Deaf children  with ASL. So be it!
5. We Deaf people,( not a hearing impaired) who do not hear the spoken languages with any devices if you mind.  It s more of brainwashing us to have those  memory that is not gonna to make a difference if you mind.
6. You don’t know what it s like to be deaf from a start that is very wrongful for you to take over Deaf children’s deafness to damage  it for nothing again.

“Light of Love” in Deaf Visual Language of the Deaf Community

Why are Deaf students getting the abusive of punishment to stand up for their rights to be served ASL in the classroom by AUDISM people in our Deaf schools?

• It s time for us Deaf Advocates with a very positive outlook, who wants to work with Deaf Leaders who are willing to work harder for our Deaf children s best interest to be served their rights to have ASL in their classrooms in Deaf Schools. And, also, Deaf children have their rights to be protected their own will and boundary lines.  Time to stop  carrying on those children ’s abuse by these Audism people who doesn’t have any bright side about our ASLan ’s natural abilities since Alexander Graham Bell took over and is still with us that should get rid of the old behavior cycles and change their attitude tones toward ASLan people of the Deaf community.  As far as it goes for  Deaf community of their Deaf cultures in this society, too.  
• 
  
• Now it s time to take the action that we don’t want to wait for NAD to do something or depend on ADA that has been violated  our rights too many times for more than 20 years already that is  too long. We should support our Deaf student’s best interest  as much as we need to do something about it.  Think about it, Deaf people color of the Deaf community. 
• 
  
• Go to DeafNotes.com . There are a lot of informations about our Deaf International Visual languages from the Mother Nature world that we appreciate to give and share with people who have a faith in us and our Deaf Visual Languages from everywhere in Deaf community in our Deaf cultures. We should be proud of what we achieved in our survival life that is a hardship to face for not having our Rights from day one, we born with a true natural human being.   
• 
  
• For those Deaf people who work very hard while they don’t make money if you must know that. Thanks! Deaf people have a true soul, mind, and body that are the feelings of being natural for who we are. Deaf children can do anything except hear.  Deaf people need to have the Teamwork altogether that it should be done. I cannot do it alone however it’s time for you to wake up and do something for our Deaf Children s Education with BI-BI languages in their future. It’s a real equal access for both sides while we can learn ASL and English written altogether  so I don’t see why should we have all kind of those artificial languages that relates to a spoken language that you are expecting us to hear you and your spoken languages.  What a real outrageous that leaves Deaf children behind their visual languages that helps them to gain their intellectual skills and social motor skills in our receptive eyes to focus onto something for us to learn in our Brain System Works. It relates to our Deafness if you mind.   It s too much confusion for Deaf children do it all one at a time that is so unreal for you to do this to Deaf babies/ children from day one.  Sighs! 
• 
  
• After this,  I am going to post about this Deaf young gal who visited Deaf school and was so shocked nobody used ASL in Deaf school that is so unbelievable.  This is still going on that is what we deal with lack of communication in the past which  is still to be continued for those Deaf children who are not too happy without having ASL in the classrooms.  Come on, Wake up and listen to us Deaf people color of the Deaf community with a very positive outlook for or by being deaf as is.

• Thank you for your time to read it.

    “Light of Love” in our Deaf Visual Languages of the Deaf community  

Hint! Hint! Hint! and Think about it twice more than ever

  http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/03/04/news/China-Military-Budget.phpsyndicated views  (read it careful what it says on the url)

 

This is real very interesting (258 in ASL) I found this article from this url,  however it disappears too quickly. Good thing, I can show the evidence that I have saved the url  but there is no more article since it removed so quickly  after I mentioned it in Death Warrant.  How 258!!!  After all,  I realized now there is something up to behind our back. I would have make a copy to show the evidence. Damn it!  because it s too late.   Sighs!   It’s somewhat scary to see a real thing in the future what I have read the article about having their strong military to be built up as it says they are using their miltary budget that means it s the  billions of dollars for their own preparation of a war without our knowledges. As far as I can see American people are sleepyhead and don’t even think about it twice before get the CI device.  Now it makes sense where all the money is coming from Cochlear Implant Device that they used Chinese people to work as the assembly in the factory in China/Australia.  They dont pay them very well  that explains it clearly so they make a biggest profit they ever make for China economy.

 

Now,  how could the government afford to pay each child for it in other countries while USA are using the medicaid or medicare and any kind insurance monies that is gone up the  hike prices for us to pay for it. What the heck is this ?  Deaf children is ending up with all those Medical bills for CI itself that is full of it..  Deaf people can do anything except hear after all you knew that we do not hear their spoken languages. Dont you get it!!  I do not believe CI parent’ s story about their children (profoundly deaf) who had two CI devices with their own money from out of the pocket.. UMMpphh that s something.  What’s more I knew it s something not right about his situation for a long time.  Sighs!  This is a real something fishy going on.   He might be a Stockholder or the representative of CI company.

 

Guess what, many of you are being so spoiled brat for having so much money that people invested their stocks to make dirtying money  on our Deaf children that is a real abuse toward disabilities as usual. That is a very good example of what the terrorist did it to two mentally challenger ladies that puts them on the bomb while they didn’t know any better.   They misused their disabilties as well as you are doing it to your Deaf children. That is a real sad for not having our rights to be protected by parents who are so innocent/ignorant and make a big mistake to make their own decision without Deaf children ’s right to have their own wills again and again.

 

 I do know some CI latened deaf or deaf oral people do make money with the stocks as they invested it for themselves and also, they are traveling around the cities or states to give the presentation about CI device. They are getting paid by CI corportation while they are not a honest qualification people to give the lecture as well.  That is other story.  That reminds me of any sites like Hearing Exchange….. that relates to CI issues as they think they know everything but N O T.  They brushed us Deafies off because we know the truth and stop them from telling people a lie about us ASLan of the Deaf community that is bad for Deaf children to be part of it.  Now you know  CI radicals and some CIers with a very stinky audist attitude who did this kind of childish behaviors to make it look bad for Deaf community for nothing all along as I had proved those evidences since I busted them real good.  

 

 But that is okay,  I have other copy of their making money that has been boasted up from Cochlear Implant Device itself  real good from the other url.  It s so unbelievable what I saw it in my own eyes after I read it.  That gives me a real goose bump and makes me getting more serious and more concerns about it for any Deaf children’s protection that should come first and first serve.

 

Things has happens to us lately with these lists that I could think of which leads into a machine killer that slows you into a death warrant certificate.

 

1.  Crashed into our Twin Tall Buildings and Pentgon Buildings,  it s too late

2. Anthrax killer that gives you a slow pace to die, it s too late

3. CI machine killer  that gives you a slow pace to die , it s too late

 4. Now  they are using for their strong military.  Ummpphh!!!!  Well it s not too late to take the action to protect ourselves.  Sighs!  I hate this fricking politicial thing that is very unnecessary because it s all about Money , Power, and Religious cults.  Jeez!

 

It s time for you to wake up and be alert.   Now stop using Deaf children as a puppet or guinea pig by the  Medical professional/ our and their government people.  I know people who are the civilian and are innocent  that we are trying to cope with our natural abilities and adaptation and  live on this Mother Nature to be friends with all kind of people without having the prejudicial or discrimination or hatred for a very stupid reason in man-made’ s world.

 

 Take your time to read and be more concerns  to think over it..  

 

Thanks!  

 

More to come :) 

 

Look at these articles that I found

In the past years, I had posted three different of two latened deaf and deaf children with devices. So I am going to post these articles again to show the evidence that we millions of Deaf people do not understand you with our HA or CI devices alone that is nothing new from the past years until today.   I am going to post the first article.  http://news.independent.co.uk/people…icle360995.ece

Personal Column: I’m good at being deaf As a teenager, artist Sophie Woolley started losing her hearing. But it doesn’t worry her

 

Published: 30 April 2006

 

People aren’t born deaf in my family: it happens later on. For my mother and my sister it was in their teens. I first noticed I was having problems aged 19. I was working as a waitress and would sometimes get the orders wrong. The chef shouted at me to get a hearing test and I did. The audiologist said I had a very slight loss but didn’t believe I had the family deafness.

 

I didn’t think I would go deaf, but very, very gradually it’s got worse. I still don’t know whether I’m going to become profoundly deaf like my mum and sister, who both use sign language. My father isn’t deaf and now finger-spells the first letter of every word for me. I’m profoundly deaf in high frequencies and wear hearing aids. When people are speaking I hear the vowels well and have to try and fill in the gaps with lip reading and guesswork.

 

When I’m lip-reading it takes a bit longer for my brain to process what people are saying. Sometimes I can see people looking slightly annoyed if I appear blank. I’m a performer of spoken-word monologues using mimicry and accents. A girl once came up to me after a show and said something, but I couldn’t understand her. She asked if I was drunk. It turned out she was trying to tell me I was a genius, but she just ended up insulting me instead. But for every one person I meet who can’t deal with my deafness I meet 10 who are brilliant about it.

 

I’m lucky in that I established myself as a writer and performer when my hearing was still pretty good. I now use an interpreter in rehearsals and a stenographer will provide an instantaneous transcription when we’re working on scripts. Last year I toured Russia with the British Council giving creative writing workshops as well as performing.

 

If I don’t tell people straight away that I’m deaf they think I’m being weird. I used to try and bluff my way through conversations, but it’s tiring and I end up looking weird anyway. Some people think I’m putting it on to wind them up as deafness is believed to be something that happens to older people and also because my speech is normal.

 

My family has a really great attitude about deafness so I don’t worry about the future. It’s the day-to-day problems that crop up that do my head in sometimes. For example, if there’s an announcement on the train, I won’t know what’s going on. Sometimes, if I’m reading a book, I’ve ended up in the sidings.

 

I also worry that people think I must fancy them because I’m staring at their lips a lot. So long as they don’t have a beard or talk with their mouth full, I can lip-read them and I don’t care what they think.

 

I miss out on ambient conversation, so I organise my social life so I don’t put myself in situations where I’m at a dinner party with 15 people and everyone’s talking at all at once. My boyfriend learned to sign as soon as we started seeing each other. Sometimes I call him and just talk at him and don’t know what he’s saying back.

 

The biggest change has been to my identity. I’m not the person I expected to be and have had to incorporate deafness into my personality. In my heart I’m still a hearing person, but as time goes by and as my hearing deteriorates, I am getting better at being deaf.

 

If I have children, there’s a chance that they would inherit the gene, but I don’t want any at the moment as I’m so busy with my career. When my mother first married, a doctor told her to get sterilised because she would have deaf children, but she ignored them. I’m more concerned about having a ginger baby than a deaf one. I’m a strawberry blonde but used to be more ginger.

 

Sophie Woolley was talking to Julia Stuart. Her touring one-woman show, ‘When To Run’, starts at the Edinburgh Festival in August with a finale at the Royal Festival Hall in December.

World of noise proves too much for Deaf teen to bear

 Quote:

World of noise proves too much for deaf teen to bear”It was so noisy and gave me such a headache,” Nanthaporn Kulpiyavaja, 19, said using sign language translated to words by her younger sister.

 

 Published on February 4, 2008

Nanthaporn referred to the world she entered after receiving cochlea implants three years ago.

 

Born profoundly deaf, Nanthaporn lived in a world with no voices until she was 16 when a public hospital doctor agreed to implant her with an artificial cochlea.

 

 Unfortunately, she didn’t believe she belonged to the new world of noise introduced to her which cost her parents almost Bt1 million. “I heard all the voices but did not know their meaning,” she reasoned as to why she prefers not to use an electronic device that assists her hearing.

 

 Cochlea implantation is regarded as a safe and effective treatment for the profoundly deaf. Besides an artificial cochlea that is implanted inside the patient’s ear, there is an external electronic device that sends sound-generated impulses directly to the brain and bypasses the flawed part of the inner ear.

 

Nanthaporn, a second-year accountancy student at Rajabhat Institute Bansomdej Chao Phraya, could not remember how long she used the electronic device but is sure that the world of voices is not for her.

 

Her father Preecha said he could never have imagined that his daughter would find her new world so noisy and disturbing.

 

“I never thought that hearing voices would be my daughter’s problem. The doctor never informed us that she would not be able to understand the voices she heard. I believed that once my daughter could hear she would be automatically be able to communicate normally,” he said. 

 

Before Nanthaporn had the cochlear implants, the family had to undertake a gruelling schedule of checks and tests for almost a year to make sure she was suitable for the treatment.

 

“The doctor told us that she would hear everything and would have to train to improve her hearing skills and learn how to talk. What he didn’t mentioned was how difficult it would be for a 16-year-old girl who was born deaf to learn such skills,” he said.

 

 Preecha now understands that her daughter is not happy in a world of unintelligible voices and has allowed Nanthaporn to discard the device and abandon the hearing and speaking lessons.

 

The case of Nanthaporn demonstrates the improper use of medical technology, said Dr Yot Teerawattananon, a senior researcher and programme leader of the Public Health Ministry’s Health Intervention and Technology Assessment Programme (HITAP). Yot said a doctor must first study carefully the implications for each individual before introducing any technology.

 

“It doesn’t mean that one health technology can be applied to all patients that have the same problem or illness. A doctor must be ethical and use his judgement to introduce the right technology to the right patient,” he said.

 

Yot said cochlear implantation was not the only health technology that was reported as being used improperly, which is why the country needs health-technology assessment.

 

HITAP was set up last year to appraise a wide range of health technologies, including pharmaceutical and medical devices. Besides cochlea implants, HITAP is now conducting research into the practice of Caesarean sections.

 

Preferring not to criticise the doctors who treated Nanthaporn, Dr Kiertiyos Komin, head of the Centre of Excellence in Otolaryngology at Rajavithi Hospital, said for children born deaf the cochlea implants would be beneficial only if they were implanted before the age of five and before they had learned to communicate with sign language. Adult or aged people could benefit from cochlea implants only if they were not born deaf but lost their hearing later.

 

“It is very difficult for those who never heard a single voice in their life to enter into a world filled with voices. Having no hearing or speaking skills, they cannot understand the voices they hear and are unable to correctly pronounce words,” said Kiertiyos.

 

 In addition to age and hearing condition, Kiertiyos said the background and circumstances of a patient are part of his criteria when considering whether they would benefit from the device.

 

Though Preecha spent almost Bt1 million for a device that is now useless, he does not cry over spilt milk.

 

 “At least she has a new life now as she is able to step out of the deaf community and live with normal people who don’t have a hearing problem,” he said.

 

Preecha said that, after the implants, the doctor recommended he encourage Nanthaporn to study and spend time with normal people instead of studying in a deaf school. The doctor reasoned that living with normal people would drive her to improve her speech skills. With strong support from her family, Nanthaporn now lives a happy life as a deaf person in a world of voices.

 

“If she hadn’t received an implant, no one would have recommended us to bring her out of the deaf community,” Preecha said optimistically.Pennapa HongthongThe Nation

 

Deaf Mom ’s view

This is how I strongly feel deaf babies/ children are not born to the MEDICAL professionals, however the parents failed to protect their Deaf children’s boundary as usual. This is not a freedom for being so against their Deaf babies/children’s rights and Deaf children ’s own will. 

 

• It is one thing to allow a person to choose to use an auditory device, but i see that it is unfair to decide for any individual to have a surgery that changes their physical properties. Once a person is mature enough to decide to have a CI surgically implanted, the decision should be made. To have a parent/guardian etc.choose this for a child is ridiculous. Why should it be ok to force a person into a surgery that they may rely on for their entire life. 
• 
  
• Once a child has become accustomed to these devices it is something that they expect to have for the rest of their life. If the device fails or does not continue to work in the same way for their entire life, then they no longer can use what they have been expected to rely on. This is totally unfair to any child or adult. If they have the choice to decide whether to use an auditory device or not then they can make that decision for themselves. It is wrong to force anyone to depend on something when naturally they are not going to have that. Children cannot make that decision. They should have the choice to decide on adapting their physical properties on their own. This should not take place unless they have been fully educated on ALL of the possibilities…positive and negative.
• 
  
•  If a child relies on the auditory device and then it suddenly isn’t working anymore, then it is something that they have no choice but to have taken from them. These surgeries are not inexpensive. It takes money to maintain these devices and not all people are able to keep up with this. What happens when a child decides that they do not want to utilize this technology? 
• 
  
• It is wrong to force a person to rely on something each day, when naturally they may be better off without a device being implanted into their bodies. Insurance does not cover a CI removal. If a person chooses that route then more power to them,but it is not an issue that should be decided by a person that will not have to live with it. The person that is getting a surgery of this type or any other surgery should be allowed to choose for themselves. It is something that will have impact, whether positive or negative, a person for the rest of their life. 
• 
  
• By forcing an individual into a life altering procedure it is the same as saying you are not “good” enough the way that you were born. You must change physically for you to be accepted by the real world. Is this really the impression we want to make on deaf children. 
• 
  
• It is a huge put down to deaf childrens true identity. People must have a choice, it is only fair! We should appreciate the differences in all people. If we were all the same, then the world would be a very boring place. 
• 
  
•  Therefore, we have the right to maintain the status we were born with…people need to learn to accept that. Any adaptation that needs to be made should be made within the faultfinders, not the children. Acceptance is KEY! Need I say more?

• 
  
•  Seeing as how there are more cons than pros to getting a CI,( as such stated in other topics), It is more responsible to NOT implant a child. You dont need to hear to be alive. And if a d/Deaf child is not good enough for you then you need to reconsider your morals and prejudices. Like it, love it, or leave it alone.

DEATH WARRANTS FOR YOU AND YOUR CI device

I don’t trust Dr or Medical Professionals and their philosophy views. I can see this is a real that we are dealing with those communist people who made this while we are living in USA.  Now it s your and y
