New Documentary about a Deaf Family with CIs


The Stark family of Chicago: a deaf, ASL using family with cochlear implants.  Jeffrey (almost 3 years old) has had a CI since he was 17 months old and and 7 month old Melissa who will get a cochlear implant soon. Their mother, Jill, will get a cochlear implant this month. The documentary will be released soon. Here's the link to the ABC story on this documentary and click here to go to the documentary's website.  

A nice quote from the documentary:  "(Cochlear implants) doesn't stop them from being deaf."
