My neighbour's two year old boy has the implants, he's the cutest kid in the world. His uncle is also deaf and was very disappointed that his brother would have this done to his son. I was very surprised how vehemently against this procedure a lot of deaf people are. He tried to use the example of music but his brother has no idea what it is. His reasoning: "If you don't know what it is, how can you miss it?"
One thing I would love to have that this boy does: if he gets too cranky and wants to tune everyone out, he simply takes off his implants.
