You fixed the consequences of deafness as in needing to communicate in a different way. That is a natural adaptation, and learning to live with the deafness. But, yes, it is fixing the situation. I fixed my own son in this way.
However, there is a huge difference between fixing a situation by natural means, thus allowing that child to live with the deafness, and surgical intervention that corrects in such a way as to work against the deafness.
