children with cochlear implants to children with normal hearing of the same age and a
matched vocabulary development. The children were given two tasks: A sorting task and
a naming task. The implanted children had accomplished the picture-sorting task in a
manner consistent with non-implanted children. However, for the naming task, implanted
children were comparatively delayed. This would pertain to my argument of rather or not
the cochlear is as effective as claimed. If their vocabulary and organization is not that of a
hearing child, then further care towards the childs development may be necessary. If the
implant is pushed as a total cure to deafness, parents may neglect any further care their
Lane, Harlan L, Robert Hoffmeister, and Benjamin J. Bahan. A Journey into the Deaf-
This book has multiple different points of views from different authors. Each author has a
different background of how they were raised and their association with the Deaf
community. This would help keep my paper from being bias on a hearing vs. Deaf level.

The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) The NAD is a nationwide site by and for
Deaf peple. They recognize all technological advancements with the potential to foster,
enhance, and improve the quality of life of all deaf and hard of hearing persons. During
the past three decades, technological developments such as closed captioning, email and
the Internet, two-way pagers, text telephones, telecommunications relay services, video
amplification devices, audio loop and listening systems have had an important role in
leveling the playing field. The role of the cochlear implant in this regard is evolving and
will certainly change in the future. They believe Cochlear implants are not appropriate
for all deaf and hard of hearing children and adults. Cochlear implantation is a
technology that represents a tool to be used in some forms of communication, and not a
cure for deafness. Cochlear implants provide sensitive hearing, but do not, by
themselves, impart the ability to understand spoken language through listening alone. In
addition, they do not guarantee the development of cognition or reduce the benefit of
emphasis on parallel visual language and literacy development. The NAD recognizes the
rights of parents to make informed choices for their deaf and hard of hearing children,
respects their choice to use cochlear implants and all other assistive devices, and strongly
supports the development of the whole child and of language and literacy. Parents have
the right to know about and understand the various options available, including all factors
that might impact development. While there are some successes with implants, success

This site dives deep into the technicalities of a cochlear. It purely is from a doctors
perspective with no reference to the culture or world view of it. It also mentions how
each person is different rather than black or white. Use of a cochlear implant requires
both a surgical procedure and significant therapy to learn or relearn the sense of hearing.
Not everyone performs at the same level with this device. They advise the decision to
Sparrow, Robert. "Defending Deaf Culture: The Case Of Cochlear Implants." Journal Of
Nov. 2016.
In this journal, it gives the Deaf perspective on Cochlear Implants. It argues that, The
search for a cure for deafness represents the desire of a majority culture to impose its
language and values on the Deaf rather than modify its institutions to take account of the
perspectives and needs of members of another culture. The journal also continues on to
compare trying to cure deafness to genocide of the deaf culture. Most Deaf people do not
consider themselves disabled and this journal examines their opinions on the cure. This
aids my argument that you should wait until the child is old enough to decide if they want
to potentially give up their deaf identity. If they never remember being fully deaf, they
will not be able to identify in with the Deaf-World. They will not know about the pride
