Interesting comments above- about the " friendly welcome" from the "deaf community". I have read about this from both Michael Chorost's Rebuilt and Beverly Bidderman's book. It was also reenforced here from the observation of a long time keyed member's private PM plus actually various comments since joining Alldeaf.com in July 2010.
Thus the apparent "difference" re "born Deaf vs latedeafened with Cochlear Implants" acceptance within "Deaf community".
I am still bilateral DEAF since December 20, 2006-never change!
