RE: Using infrared light to help deaf people hear and blind people see
I think it is pretty funny to say all this to me as i AM DEAF.
@Sboverie- Yes the "critical window", please see my part where after they have the surgery, they are no longer considered deaf by us. And hearing people see them with the equiptment on their body/ear, and dont see them as hearing. And even if that is the PEAK time for them to get surgery with the best outcome, it STILL does not make them hear 100%. (Please, i know many with implants, and a trial patient of the above.) So, because i was BORN deaf, and have no need to "fix" it, is an excuse? This is not a defect. People with a "defect", i.e. cleft palet, extra toes, brain damage, down syndrome- Do not have their own language like the deaf. As far as facts are concerned, people with their own langauge is a CULTURE. I think a lot of people who be offended by equalizing a Culture with a Defect.
@NoSacredCow- I do not watch fictional crap on television such as you watch, thanks, go rent some more marathons.
@FuzzyIce- Really, I should avoid those things? How is that even relevant? Are you born with cavities? And are cars and computers changing aspects of your body? Please, do some research instead of bashing me.
I only appreciate people like Sboverie who are willing to talk about this topic, instead of people wasting my time on nonsense.
