Welcome to The Hear Me Out! [CC] Podcast, an audio show (with transcripts included) where we listen to stories from fascinating individuals in and around the d/Deaf community and from your host, yours truly, Ahmed Khalifa.
I've been seeing and hearing a lot of stories about how Deaf people who are about to undergo surgery to have a cochlear implant are apprehensive and nervous for 2 reasons. The first is because it involves a surgery, which is a valid reason. The second is because of a potential backlash from the Deaf community, which is something that I struggle with.
Personally, I think it's your decision to do whatever it is that helps you. But I'm also curious to hear more from different about their decisions to have a cochlear implant and also from those who are completely against it.
