"Deaf since birth" "to hear perfectly AGAIN" ... "HE wants" no. The parents want that FOR him. HE doesnt know what he wants because he has never experienced sound. Do not speak for him. If he's been denied then there is no need for him to get them. The parents want them to make communication easier but nobody knows if that's actually in his best interest or if its in everyone elses best interest. I had a deaf girl at my school and she refused to wear anything that made her hear. She hated it and didn't want it in her life. Her parents and the school first tried to get her to wear her aids and when she wouldn't they tried to force her by abuse. Meaning manipulation by rejection, being rude to her, excluding her on purpose, making her sit against a far away wall, she wasn't allowed to look at everyone else until she wore her aids, she was denied of her recess and had to sit at an empty table in the teachers room and wasn't allowed to do anything but eat her food and then nothing until she wore her aids and her parents did the same at home from what I heard. In the end it only made her resent the hearing world even more because they were cruel and disgusting and she never wore her aids still. I later saw her talking sign language in a cafe (all grown up 20 years later) with a man (husband I guess) and 3 kids and she didn't wear any hearing aids. What I mean to say is that deaf people are in no need of fixing and entering the hearing world. They simply don't need it. You as a hearing person, especially a parent only wants that so its easier for thselves and everyone else, not necessarily for the child. More often then not they just end up with a sensory overload because its too much. Don't force deaf people to hear. Not even children.
