She uses captioning on the television, preferring to have full access to everything that goes on. She relies on lip reading when in the pool. When asked about accommodations for swimming, Heather explained that the starter waves a flag when the race begins. Heather is active in sports and enjoys basketball, soccer, lacrosse and swimming. 'Most of the time I look at the teacher or whoever is talking, and I use the interpreter when I miss what is being said.' 'I use an interpreter about half of the time,' says Heather. She is the only child with hearing loss at the school. Heather is eleven and attends her local school. Today, all three children have the Nucleus 24 and wear the behind-the-ear unit. For example, I hear the 's' and 'th' clearly with the implant and it was missing with the hearing aid.' Heather explained how the implant was different from her hearing aid saying, 'Sounds are much more detailed. Just before she was wheeled into surgery, Heather turned to her parents and signed, 'Thank you for doing this for me.'ДЄ month later, both children had their implants activated. In September of 2002, both children underwent surgery the same day.

C.J., the youngest child, was not yet a candidate at that time. Nita and Peter made the decision to go ahead with surgery for both children. Nita felt ready to explore the option, especially with both Timothy and Heather requesting an implant. It was too new for us, and we had so much information from both sides (deaf and hearing people) that we weren't ready for any of it.' 'Looking back,' says Nita, 'we were so overwhelmed with all the information about the implant at the time the documentary was made. Nita began to research more about the cochlear implant. Nita noticed that Timothy often struggled with lip reading and it was hard for Timothy to watch his cousin handle conversations with ease. 'I want an implant like Peter,' Timothy said to Nita one day. The commute for three years was hard on Peter.' Once the family moved to New York, Timothy often played with his cousin Peter. 'After three years,' says Nita, 'we decided to move back to New York to be a family again and see each other every day. Emotions still ran high, and the extended family rarely spoke of the rift that 'Sound and Fury' brought to them. Peter remained in New York, and commuted to Maryland on the weekends. After the film was released, Peter and Nita decided to move the family to Frederick, Maryland and enrolled all three in a school for deaf children. In the end, the controversy tore the family apart. Peter felt strongly that his children were doing just fine using American Sign Language, noting that they had both great self esteem and a connection with the deaf community. Peter and Nita began to feel pressured into choosing a surgery that they were not ready for. As the filming continued, the documentary began to show both the impact of Deaf Culture and the many factors influencing a decision to put a cochlear implant on a child.Д¬ontroversy reigned in the family, with Peter's parents becoming more and more vocal about choosing an implant for Heather. At first, Peter and Nita were open to the idea of a cochlear implant for their daughter, who was six and beginning to explore the option.

Peter's parents strongly encouraged Peter and Nita to consider it for their daughter, Heather. Mari's parents also wonder how Peter will communicate with them if the implant is successful. They are afraid that their grandson, Peter (III), will lose his deaf identity. Mari's deaf parents object to the idea of a cochlear implant. In the film, Chris and Mari decide to pursue a cochlear implant for their one and half year old son. 'Sound and Fury' followed both families as they explored choices for their children. Their son Peter (named after Chris' brother and grandfather, so Peter is Peter III) is also deaf. Chris and Mari are the parents of Emily, Christopher and Peter (twins), and Joey and Nicholas (also twins). Chris is hearing and is married to a hearing woman, Mari, whose parents are deaf and use American Sign Language to communicate. They have three deaf children, Heather, Timothy and C.J.
