AG Bell & CI Companies

Advanced Bionics and Cochlear Americas are featured on the AG Bell Association front page as being their Circle Alliance. Cochlear Americas was in the news yesterday as the Dept of Justice announced it has been found guilty of kickbacks and must pay $880,000.



Blog has past quotes from Advanced Bionics and Cochlear Americas explaining what their role in AG Bell Association's Circle Alliance has been.

A plea to AG Bell Association to reconsider who it keeps company with.

In March I had vlogged about Advanced Bionics being the top banner on the AG Bell Homepage. Advanced Bionics had been sued by a law firm which has a Deaf lawyer who has a CI but was representing cases of Deaf adults and children who had gotten shocks and other adverse reactions to failed CIs manufactured by Advanced Bionics due to moisture leaks and faulty CIs.



Since that time AG Bell has removed Advanced Bionics from its top banner. Great news. Perhaps the cochlear implant is only for the MONEY as the dirty business? as seen on Cochlear Business Is Dirty Business! with captioned.

Also and Keri suggest you to be positive words how to deal with hearing parent's children who is Deaf to wearing CI as a patient. Send them the information such as to learn in sign language (ASL) and resources from the Deaf community to let educating them, rather than the wrong pictures about Deaf community.
