re: There are really people arguing against curing deafness?

I learned about this at a conference recently. It’s a real thing. There’s a tight knit deaf community and some look down on the parents that opt for cochlear implants and stuff instead of sign language etc. Kinda like they don’t consider being deaf a handicap and can be offended if you do. The speaker mentioned you should never ask deaf person if they’ve considered surgical options because some will get offended. It was pretty interesting.

My no-pic-having wife works with kids with cochlear implants and said there’s a very weird deaf community who’s against them. I never understood the reasons.
Eta: and as usual someone already said something similar two posts up, because I didn’t read the thread.

I mean big ups to them for that attitude but they have to understand it 100% is a disability compared to people who can hear.

Exactly, especially when some have deaf parents and some don’t. Makes communication with your kid a big deal.

Yeah I’ve seen some of this.
Guy who just retired from my office is deaf. His wife is an interpreter and all of his daughters are hearing but only two of the three daughters speak ASL.
The youngest one doesn’t and I’m assuming it is a combo of leaning on her mom and sisters to translate as well as improved technology such as interpreter over the video phone.

And Regeneron is giving away Otarmeni their gene therapy for a specific type of sensorineural hearing loss.

They don't view themselves as disabled or missing out.
But they are disabled and missing out. They can view themselves anyway they want; it doesn’t change the facts.
Also, the ones who truly don’t believe they are disabled and missing out can refuse the cure. Let’s see how many choose that.
