Hearing and Deaf cultures are different in many ways. The main reasons are how people communicate and what is most important to us. As with the deaf, “deaf” refers to the condition of people suffering from hearing loss as a whole. “Deaf” is the cultural aspect of being deaf. The pride and soul of everything it means to be deaf. A person can be “deaf” and not be “deaf”. People of the hearing culture most likely don't even realize that they actually have a culture of their own. What is done in hearing culture can be disrespectful or demeaning to deaf people. There is a great controversy between the two communities on the topic of cochlear implant (CI). In the hearing world, most people if they get a deaf child they might go straight to giving them Cochlear, so they will be, in the minds of the hearing people, a part of the hearing community, but in the deaf community, some, if not most , reject the use of a cochlear implant because they believe it is just another device aimed at fixing what is not broken and, for this reason, in their opinion, it is depriving deaf people of their culture and the safety and effectiveness are not I am high enough to run the risk of surgery. For the deaf, they live a highly functional lifestyle without the device. So, why do people make such a quick decision about placing an implant?2. Deaf people are a group of capable individuals who the only thing they cannot do is hear. For most of the deaf community, cochlear implants are like saying "you're not as good as you are, so we need to fix you." For them it's like a slap in the face. Except on paper, deafness is not seen as a disability by deaf people. It's a lifestyle, it's an identity, so why not be proud of it? There are many things that can help a deaf person when the ability to hear is needed. C...... half of the sheet ...... runs, it may not work. The implant, along with the surgery and postoperative care, can easily cost over $50,000. So, taking on that monetary risk if your insurance doesn't cover it can be devastating if it doesn't work out even after the effort of getting it. There also appears to be an increased risk of bacterial meningitis among those who have the implant. There are many good reasons why you should enter the implant as the greatest thing you accomplish, with it you are able to hear regardless of whether it is processed sound or natural hearing, you are still hearing. Everyone has a right to what they do with their life, but it doesn't seem like a real necessity to have CI.Works quote Henshaw, Ashley. "find symptom." February 9, 2012. Sound and fury.
