if this could be subject to the same sort of controversy that cochlear implants get...

be interesting to see. Though I think there is not the same concern for nerve damage, etc.

I'd seen a fair bit of controversy regarding cochlear regarding the idea of children having it done by their parents, whether being deaf

should be considered a problem that needs to be "fixed", etc.

there are those in the deaf community that find the idea of cochlear implants offensive. I can't pretend to understand the politics, and

I was honestly in the dark that all of that controversy existed, for quite a while.
