I represented a client charged with obstruction for not exiting a vehicle. Client was deaf and therefore didn't hear the command. State's attorney argued that Client chose not to get a cochlear implant so Client planned to obstruct cops.

The cochlear question: as the parent of a deaf baby, should I give her an implant to help her hear?

All of these can be perpetrated by anyone anywhere along the political spectrum. It’s the hearing parents who refuse to learn sign language and put their deaf kids in for cochlear implants before they can consent. It’s shaming patients for how much they weigh. It’s medical racism.

A lovely and honest thread about one deaf person's experience of a cochlear implant.

Rush Limbaugh, awarded a 2020 Presidential Medal of Freedom during Trump-1, had gone deaf in 2002.
Would receive a cochlear implant, developed & patented by a @NASA engineer, restoring his ability to hear. He was grateful 'til the end for science's role in his later life.
