I keep seeing people defining audism as hearing is superior to deaf. While that is part of the definition there is more to it and for the sake of this discussion, I feel it should be included in any policy. Don't forget there are also deaf audists. Those deaf that feel superior or shun other deaf people that don't consider themselves as part of "Deaf culture" or that feel superior or shun those deaf people that have opted for CI's. This form of Audism is perpetuated by deaf and not hearing people. Audism can be from hearing to deaf but also can be from deaf to hearing or deaf to deaf. No matter how you slice it or who is serving it up it is ugly.http://www.alldeaf.com/our-world-our-culture/26284-making-word-audism-more.html#post492621
