I don't mean deaf, I'm really deaf now, I have lots if problems now, the difference between being severe to profound and being profound is actually huge. It's not really that many decibels difference, but those few decibels make a huge difference in speech recognition.
In theory I can see why even with severe loss I might have an advantage over someone with severe loss since birth. BUT I was talking about kids with that amount of loss, severe or even moderate, not every kid that is born with hearing loss is deaf. Know what I mean now?
