If she can do that , then she does not fit into the category that 'most' people would call deaf. |
bilateral severe to profound loss with CIs. That is deaf by all definitions!

Is there any particular reasons to refer them deaf while wearing CI even though they hear well as a hearing person? I am wondering parents do that to make sure they get accommodated. I usually refer them as cochlear implant users. And if anyone ask what it is, I tell them they are deaf without it.
