Yep. Just to be clear I'm not trying to knock deaf culture, hopefully someone on hubski who has more experience can offer their opinion on how it operates. It looks to me that if you are a deaf person there is a large amount of pressure on you from other people within the culture to avoid getting an implant.

If I was deaf and the choice of getting an implant means I lose my friends or am shunned from a culture that provides me support then that's a very difficult choice to make. It seems this article hints around that.
