What about those deaf of hearing who lived at the residential schools? :hmm:

If they lived at a residential school, they would have been raised within Deaf culture moreso than hearing culture. I should have made that distinction, as well.

Bott,

I don't understand. Are you saying I'm postlingually deaf or prelingually deaf? I tend to think I'm postlingual only because I could hear speech pretty well until age 15 when I received my first pair of hearing aids for a moderate loss. Jillio? Do you have any comments about my question? I was born with a mild hearing loss (given my newborn history)

I believe they are saying that you are a late deafened hearing person.
 
Nevermind. I saw Jillio's response. I'm postlingually deaf like I thought.

What if a child is born to hearing parents, but raised with the norms, values and philosophies of the Deaf community?

Unless the parents are Deaf themselves, or they give the child to the Deaf community to raise, the parents are products of the culture in which they were raised, as well....which is hearing. The difference in philosophies is evident on this forum on a daily basis between the hearing cultural values of hearing parents, and the Deaf cultural values of the Deaf.

I said post lingual. Faire Jour used you as and example of a born Deaf person who got CI. I was explaining that you were hearing and restored your hearing with CI after you became completely deaf.

So complicated....what about a day student at a residental school? Or a child of one Deaf parent, one hearing parent?

Why can't the Deaf community accept them all?

:lol:

I am tempted to make a comment but I am afraid of Jiro!
 
jillio said:
Nope, we did not say "late deafened". We said "postlingual". There is a difference.

Jillio,

Now I'm confused. What's the difference? Is the difference that I had some hearing loss from age 3 whereas a late deafened person has normal hearing until they are an adult?
 
I bet this grad student is getting an "Ear Full" :lol:

Maybe it is time for one to race to see if they can start their own thread about this......

Kick off to start a new thread?? EH?? whatcha think??

Yes.

The argument is that I said you were Deaf and got a CI, and they all attacked me for saying that my daughter is Deaf, and said that I was calling a hearing person Deaf and that I don't have the right to call my daughter Deaf because I'm hearing.

None of it matters, it's just another way to attack me.

A day student at a residential school will return to hearing culture on a daily basis. They will have enough exposure to Deaf culture to decide at some point in their life which way they coose to i.d. and which cultural norms and values they choose to adopt.

A child of one Deaf parent will no doubt be the same. They will be exposed to the hearing culture of the hearing parent, and the Deaf culture of the Deaf parent.

If you are interested in the way in which culture is transmitted, I will be glad to refer you to a book or two.

Good idea...

Yes, but I was born with a mild hearing loss (according to my newborn medical history of illnesses and ototoxic drugs I was given)

Born with a loss equals prelingual. Even though it was a mild loss, it was there before you learned language.
 
Fair Jour..I think the Deaf community does accept all especially that 90% of deaf children are born to hearing parents anyway...just by the definition of anthrolopists regarding to culture, that's what the debate is in regards to.

The Deaf community doesnt make the rules...

no we are not attacking you... we are simply trying to tell you the difference of the big "D" and the little "d"

culture wise a big difference in the deaf community in general..
