But two parents that can't walk and have a child that can't walk is much different from two parents who can't hear having a child that can't hear. | To a degree, but the method of communication isn't lost if the child can hear. There's no reason why the shouldn't be given that oppurtunity. ASL is what defines deaf culture. As I said, she'd learn ASL in order to communicate with her parents, anyway. But the majority of people don't know ASL, and by the time she's 18 and able to get the operation, she will literally have the understanding of not even a 1 year-old.
