AB - The purpose of this study is to investigate influence of medical field, parents’ perception and social circumstances on the parents’ choice to use cochlear implants for deaf children. A literature review was conducted, and an in-depth interview was carried out for four parents who had their children use an cochlear implants. The conclusion of this study is as follows:First, several factors—strengthening of early detection and diagnosis system, application of medical insurance to the operation, argument in medical field that early operation leads to better result—affected parents’ choice. Second, parents of deaf children were concerned about using a hearing aid for risk of further deteriorating hearing ability, and had negative ideas about Sign language. The parents received limited information on deaf community and Sign language. In comparison, in Japan, parents had access to a wide range of information, and increasingly more parents chose to provide bilingual language education for deaf children. Provision of diverse information helped parents’ choice and brought about changes in education for deaf children. In addition, more information should be offered on the rehabilitation process of cochlear implants, and influence of the operation on the children’s overall development in life. Information about deaf community should convey to parents of deaf children. The recent studies on bilingual language education for deaf children need to be introduced to the parents. To do so, deaf education should explore how to build a network between deaf community and parents of deaf children.
