As a Deaf person myself, I am in a better position to comment about the normality of being Deaf. That Sunday times article is a load of crap, to which uninformed people are responding to with yet uninformed comments and opinions! I've just had my Christmas spoilt having to read ignorant, uninformed and unmitigated prejudicial responses - too numerous to mention. But do yourselves a favour, go and read about Deafness from a Deaf person's point of view [and not the toss you get handed down by the media, the medical profession and other uninformed sources]. This is my blog response to that article:
