It's a personal choice of course. I can tell you that I have two. I got my first one when I was 3 and my second (other ear) when I was in 8th grade. I was born profoundly deaf, but my cochlear implants allow me to function so well that most people cannot even tell I'm deaf. I get straight A's, will be going to college, and feel like I have pretty much all the options and advantages that my "hearing" friends do. I don't think I, personally, would be as successful as I am now if I didn't have my cochlear implants. They don't work for everyone, though -- you need to see a hearing professional to be evaluated, and it takes lots of time, patience, and practice to learn to "hear" with them.
