[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't post before, but I had thought that cochlear implants were a cure now? My cousin is an audiologist who works with infants and I believe she told me this. [/quote] Most Deaf people do not view deafness as something that needs to be "cured." And while the impulse of a parent to "fix" it is understandable, it's often misguided. Better to give your child tools to communicate effectively rather than focus on "fixing" or "curing" deafness. That's the same mentality that led to the cruel abuse of children trying to sign only a couple of generations ago.[/quote] I'm not trying to be insensitive. It was just a question. Most children who have bad eyesight do get glasses? [/quote] You are wading into controversial territory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaf_culture [/quote]
