My daughter "CASEY" has been deaf since birth.  I've recently
discovered that a 22 channel cochlear implant is now available.
I understand that earlier models were experimental only and that
upgrades from one and two channel implants to 22 channel implants
were ok.  I also know that the implant is done only to one side.
Does anyone know more than this?  Is there a network (or BBS) that
allows the deaf folks to chat about their problems and concerns?
Casey is 11 now and ready to blossom, she needs outside contacts.
Let me hear from you. Thanks.
