But when you see it as that way, it's most likely parents are already not good if they used those harmful effects on a child.
So the cycle continues, they would probably not care about education at all if they bothered to use drugs while they are pregnant.
I would like to see the stats of cause of deafness in the children and compare it to the past and see if it made any difference.
That's how I view it. It's just one theory.

My coworkers who have been working in this field for 20 plus years say that today's deaf kids are different than before. I asked them was it cuz of deafness being caused by drugs and stuff and they said no cuz even back then there were kids who became deaf from drugs. They said it is cuz of LRE laws. Just quoting what some of them said. They could be wrong ..who knows?
Anyways, you do have a good point.
