There was a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie recently (I think) staring Marlee Matlin and Steven _____ (the dad from Seventh Heaven) and it was about a couple who was battling the same decision for their son. I never even thought about there being any argument against a device that would improve or allow hearing! I thought their storyline was a bit swayed because the wife's father was a deaf activist if there is such thing.

Anyway, I think you did well, Rachael. And it all made sense to me since I had seen that movie.
