For me, I would rather hear than not hear because there are things to hear and I like to experience that. But I don't feel it makes me "better" than deaf or superior like I look down on deaf. No, not at all, that is not how my heart works. When I know a deaf person wants to hear, I think they want to experince something that will make there personal life better for themselves, not to say hahaha I can hear and you can't
You're looking at it from a hearing impaired perspective.
Fake hearing (through CI or HA) for a dhh kid is NOT at ALL like hearing for a hearing person. Hearing vs. deaf is like gay vs straight. Or male vs female.
