Gene editing has the potential to decrease the number of people who grow up deaf.
Hopefully it can also decrease the number of idiots who find fault with EVERYTHING

My 4yo knucklehead is deaf 90% of the time when me or his mom tell him something. Can we cure that?

Look up the documentary Sound and Fury. It is from 20 years ago and hits hard on this with the advancements in cochlear implants at the time.
It is hard as an outsider to understand their thinking, but if you are honest about it, you can understand even if you don’t agree.
It cure both ways because a lot of them fear losing their ability to communicate the with their kids.

Sound and Fury (2000)
Deaf culture is very insulated and protective. There’s an interesting documentary from 2000 called Sound and Fury about the deaf child of deaf parents who wants a cochlear implant because they want to fit in better in the world, and it creates a huge rift in their family as the parents wrestle with honoring their child’s wishes and being upset and disappointed at their child’s seeming rejection of deaf culture.

Their argument will fall on deaf ears.

This is our country now:
"Don't try to cure deafness, it's part of who you are. Instead, you should go have your dick cut off."

I typically don't believe in judging on principal, but someone who doesn't want a cure to be found for a disability because they want others to have the same disability they have? Yeah, they deserve judgement. Who are they to decide for others if they should get cured?
this is how i feel. frick these people. If they do not want to be cured and get implants thats fine....but frick them for trying to deter others and control others for the sake of community.
whoever said its just like Fat people and GLP-1.....perfect example.

i agree....both are cureable now
i was talking about the fat fricks who make it their whole identity and then get mad at others for losing weight, glp1 or not.
im telling you it happens. Hell everytime i get down to 10-12% body fat I have tons of people telling me not to lose anymore as I will look too skinny. and its almost 100% exclusively fat people saying it.
Fatties hate when fatties lose weight, they say they dont but they do.

No, they aren't. As i stated earlier my nephews have the bilateral implants and are still exceptionally deaf. They certainly aren't unique in that at their deaf and blind school.

As someone who is slowly sliding into deafness...I'd love a cure. I could understand if someone who was born deaf doesn't want a cure, but dang, I'd love to hear my kids without saying "huh" or "what" until they are frustrated with me. I hate the thought that I might not hear my grandkids voice if I'm blessed with them.

It’s just another form of leftist ideology.

Just curious but do they think in sign language like most people think in their native language?

I used to work with the deaf. It was culture shock when I realized that a large portion of deaf people do not see it as a disability. If you are deaf many consider it as a part of a community/culture. Therefore, cures and assistance, like cochlear implants can be seen in a negative light or as an attack against their community.
I guess it makes sense if you're within their culture but I can't imagine not wanting to be able to hear if it was an option.
