Impossible. Oralism and cochlear implants do not make any Deaf Person "Hearing" . Cochlear Implants cannot help Deaf People "hear" without reading lips. Cochlear Implants helps Deaf People hear sounds of airplanes, crickets, music, people talking. Cochlear Implants do not help Deaf People talk on phones like any Hearing and Hard of Hearing People can do. This is not a total communications for any Deaf Individual. Deaf Individuals are always excluded from total communications in the Hearing World. Loneliness, less informed and subjected to series of undignified audism is a fact of life for every Deaf Individual living in the Hearing World.The only way to make it "Total Communications" is to take up ASL and recognize Audism Practices as immoral, illegal and unconstitutional. ASL completes the Total Communications for Deaf People in the Hearing World.
