Audiology industry is filled with profit seeking corporations and they a have a HUGE political hand. They lobby. I would not be surprised to see the Audiology industry fight back this. They make huge profits and Audiologists are licensed workers.. Like doctors they're required to go though hoops and loops to get a license. The cochlear implant industry is the same it's all about profit and pushing the CI into babies and taking advantage of the early technology by using them on deaf people where in the future it will be more like cyborg tech way more advanced and they're just testing and pushing this huge industry. It's full of people that think a hearing aid or CI is a solution to the problem where it's really not. I would put neuro link tech into the same pool as CI tech. They're testing it on disabled people and touting the benefits while hiding the negatives.
