Yeah...I have noticed that CIers are slowly but surely being accepted into the Deaf world. The Deaf-World is realizing that it's not nessairly the amount of hearing that makes you Deaf, but rather whether you Sign and are into Deaf Culture.There are plenty of legally HOH folks who identify as Deaf and who use ASL. Why there is even a growing group of Deaf people who have perfect hearing but use Sign, as a first language due to other disabilties.
a CI is just another tool to get along in the hearing world, like hearing aids or ALDs.
I'm pretty much neutral on CIs myself. (and they can be a godsend for those people with auditory nereopathy or who don't get too much benifit from hearing aids)
