And that is exactly what I have said all along, rd. That I cannot know what it is to live as a deaf individual....however, by listening to what I am told by those whodo live with deafness every single day of their lives, I can gain as complete an understanding as is possible for any hearing person. I beleive my question was, "Do I seek to understand.....? And the deaf posters that have rsponded have agreed that I do.
Once again, the hearing perspective on this subject is not much use to me. I requested feedback fromthe deaf for a specific pirpose. It is the hearing who seem to think that I do not seek to understand the deaf perspective. That opinion has already been voiced. However, the deaf seem to think otherwise.
That is what I needed to know.
