We must also keep in mind that the vast majority of hearing society is socialized to be audist in their belief system from the time they are chiildren. Since 90% of deaf children are born to hearing parents, who have been socialized to be audist by their hearing parents and hearing society to the degree that most don't even recognize their own audism...is it any wonder that so many deaf adults seek out the Deaf community as soon as they are able to break away from the audist practices that have been, sometimes unintentionally, thrust upon them?
