Wow, some of you people should be ashamed of yourself here, you guys have no clue what it like to walk a miles in our shoes, I am sickened by the ignorance of some people here, we do not depend on our hearing to avoid danger, deaf people do not have many distraction by outside noises such as music, traffic, dog barking, children laughing and playing, lawn motor noises, etc ( I could go on and on by listing many outdoor noises but I think most of you got my point here ) and deaf people tends to focus more because they use their eyes more instead of hearing, you people should check statics before making such a judgment on this issue about danger...I've heard some hearing people saying a deaf person can not hear the sound of a smoke detector going off in case there's a fire, and they shouldn't live alone, sheesh :rme: also claiming that deaf people can not drive because they can't hear the horns or the traffic noises etc....It seems to me that they're always going to find excuses of the danger not being able to hear ...What wrong with their eyes? isn't that enough to keep them out of danger?...There are many ways you can teach your deaf children the danger , they need to pay more attention of what is around them and focus more by using their eyes before going across the street etc...Like I said in another thread, what is important is that we know our own abilities and our willingness to try our best to make the most of each day, and we won't let our deafness stop us from anything...
