Bottesini, You are right, Meniere's opinions do reflect many of the opinions of the Deaf for that time period. I just wanted to make sure that I had my facts straight as I have been learning so much in doing my research. Such as I never knew about Alexander Graham Bell's "contribution" to the...

Oh, and I meant Prosper Meniere, not Paul Meniere. Sorry about that err in the op.

Bottesini, That is why I was asking. Harlan Lane in "The Mask of Benevolence" quotes Meniere with saying, "The deaf believe that they are our equals in all respects. We should be generous and not destroy that illusion. But whatever they believe, deafness is an infirmity and we should repair it...

Don't know if this is the correct place or not, but was wondering how much anyone knows about Meniere's Disease. I am just wondering, because I've learned that it was named after Paul Meniere, who also seemed to have similar beliefs regarding the deaf as Alexandra Graham Bell. I am quoting...

I love this thread and hope this bumps it back up to the top. Many people don't appreciate those "little" accomplishments. Many people don't understand that accomplishments are relative events and are actually unique to each individual. I for instance, in many eyes, haven't probably accomplished...

I just want to thank everyone for all the welcomes. I have to be honest that I was a little nervous about joining AD as the result of the required reading for last semester. The title of the book is "Journey into the Deaf World." The book spent a considerable amount of time emphasizing the...
