The most extensive of many such informational sites, well organized, great links. The cochlear implant section is www.listen-up.org/implant/htm, but don't miss other sections on educational laws, etc.
-

Unfortunately, the award-winning HiP Magazine for deaf and hard of hearing children is no longer being published, due to lack of funds. However, recent back issues still can be ordered, with wonderful articles on deaf and hard of hearing adult role models, contributions from children, etc.
