Union 5-3992 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I remember seeing a documentary about hearing implants. A deaf family was debating whether or not to give their daughter a hearing implant. They were worried about her losing her "deaf culture". They got into real heated debates. The grandparents were talking about a lot of bullying regarding their deafness, then talked about how they would hate for their granddaughter to be able to hear. It was a very idiotic argument. It was like they thought that the daughter wouldn't be able to communicate despite knowing sign language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
