Dear Viloria,
No she hadn't:
"Heather, 7, now attends the Maryland School for the Deaf. Peter says
she doesn't ask about cochlear implants anymore.
The family controversy over Peter and Nita's decision to not implant
Heather continues. Peter says that he recognizes that cochlear
implants are the right choice for some kids, and hopes that his
parents, brother and sister-in-law will come to respect his family's
decision to not give Heather a cochlear implant."

I hope this answers your question. Please contact me if you need any
further clarification on this answer before you rate it.

On the website www.alldeaf.com I found someone commmenting on an
interview of the Artinians family on Tuesday, April 20,2003 by Good
Morning American, which indicated that the family have moved back to
Long Island and that both Nita,the mother, and Heather have gotten the
cochlear implant. I have neither see the show or gotten the
transcript, so I want to make sure this is true.

hat I could find, though, is that Peter was elected as a speaker in
deaf awareness week 2004. In his description, he describe his children
as two deaf and one hard-of-hearing; and states that he lives now in
New York and works for the Citigroup. So, at least partially the post
is right: the family moved back to NY (though not stated weather to
Long Island or elsewhere)
"Peter Artinian, who is deaf, and was born to hearing parents, grew up
in Long Island, NY. I have a deaf family. My wife name is Juanita
Artinian. We have the three children, which are 2 deaf kids and one
hard of hearing. Heather is 101/2 yr old (in the movie, she was 4 and
half yr old, Timothy is 9 yr old and Christopher is 6 yr old.
(sic)
[...]
Peter Artinian lives in New York and work at Citigroup in NYC."

Viloria,
I have found no evidence thereof from any available source except for
that thread on AllDeaf
<http://www.alldeaf.com/archive/index.php/t-2048.html> . That doesn't
mean that it doesn't exist, but that no-one reported it.
However, quiet truthfully, if you had been describing what you wanted
in your question, I am not sure that I would have taken it. I used
many resources only to find hence negative information. Had I known
that you're looking to corrobarate the information in this specific
interview, I would have originally not taken the question.
I enquier further, with further sources.
