You have got to have tough skin to make discussion with us, Deafies and HOH. We think differently what you thought what deaf and hard of hearing people behave in the hearing world. We had suffered a lot of hardship with the hearing society and wanted us to be like the hearing people to have normal hearing. 
They put us in the mainstream schools instead of Deaf schools where we can sign ASL. We had tried to tell many times for many years to explain to hearing people that we want to sign ASL all the time and be comfortable with deaf people and hard of hearing people, but the hearing people refused to listen to us and wanted us separate from the Deaf communities. That was brutal and cruel of them to do that to us.
See Bold...So you think we are better than you if you are glad about it. It is the other way around that hearing people are better than deaf people and think they know all about deafness and that we should be easy to hear better with hearing aids and CIs. Again as I have already explained that your normal hearing before you become late deafened are very much different than our deaf or hard of hearing. We will never have normal hearing and that is something we have to make adjustment and try to get use to it.
By the way, we are very blunt to many hearing people who come here and wanted to ask questions that would shock us knowing that the hearing people are sooooo naive and not know nothing about our deaf perspectives. If you want to leave, be my guest. If you decide to stay and learn something about our deaf perspectives and give you feedback or answer the questions in the right way to know about us. Then you are on the right forum here.
