I could just do what everybody does and quote the EXPERTS, but they don't seem to address the issues of emotional aspect. I only found one on line article about the isolation problem. There solution was to force more interaction between deaf and hearing students... seemed to be sidestepping the real issue. I don't know how to conduct a real survey, and not sure if it would be recieved well, but I think it is an issue to be discussed civily, because even the gas prices are going to affect these issues... Pretty concerning subject.
