Re: Online Encyclopedia Article on Cochlear Implant

[Guest guest]

Hi Gerald,

I have been watching that entry evolve for almost two years. It has

not always been unbiased, and it will still occasionally get hijacked

by Deaf activists vehemently opposed to implants. If you really want,

I believe you can put it in the Links collection yourself. Go to

/group// and click on the Links section (on the

left), pick the right folder, and then Add Link in the folder. It is

easy to do.

I am still not sure this entry is totally unbiased. Take, for

example, " For small children, there have been mixed results. Almost

all children with implants hear quite well with a cochlear implant,

but for a rare few, the auditory nerve is unable to be stimulated. "

The second sentence almost contradicts the immediately preceding one!

It is because people can't agree about this Wikipedia entry. So

sometimes it reads like garbage.
