Agreed! Any "all encompassing" statement that sweepingly denies the validity of HAs and CIs is highly suspect to say the least. I really don't see what the issue of being "proud" or big egos has anything to do with the issue of being deaf. One who has to use a "device" is deaf regardless of what they think. If they don't think they so, they are only fooling themselves. But it doesn't mean a person can't be highly successful with them in the hearing world. If one can straddle both worlds, all the better for them as their horizons are broadened considerably.
