Friedner describes how cochlear implants can have a profound effect on the experiences of deaf people. But dependence on such medical devices can also lead to what she calls "planned abandonment." What does she mean by this?

When companies determine that processors and other parts of the devices are "obsolete" and no longer service them, users are cut off from their sensory worlds.

The implants and surgery are expensive and in India, where Friedner conducted research, poor families were not able to obtain cochlear implants for their children.

Devices become obsolete everywhere at the same time, so there are no options for exchange and shared support, even in informal trade markets.

None of these.
