I don't mind at all.
We are very active in the Deaf community. My daughter attends a bi-bi school for the Deaf (it is voice off ASL) and we attend a Deaf church, and Deaf community activities whenever possible. In our area the community often revolves around the school so a school activity is often just a community activity too.
We have not had a single bad thing said to us about her CI in real life. Everyone has been very accepting. I think that the tide has changed about the implant. I know many Deaf adults with them, and they are very accepted in our community.
