  • Sorry my english is rusty.

    I don’t think it is an outdated pathologisation. I suffered a lot from depression and loneliness partly because of my deafness. I was born profoundly deaf and wear hearing aid since 3 years old. At 30 year old i decided to experience the cochlear implant because i was stuck in my life. It has only been two month since its activation and i’m starting to see its benefit.

    It depend on each one situation, it’s a balance between risk and benefit and, for me, the cochlear implant outweight the risk.

    A culture is based on language. It shape your way of thinking, create a structure, define color…So when you speak, you share a common culture.

    Deaf people created another language to compensate their hearing lost and communicate between themselve : sign language. Their culture is based on the lost of their hearing sens. That’s one of the reason we call them “Deaf community”. Not Deaf people.

    So when parents decide to help their kids with the cochlear implant, without teaching sign language, it do endanger Deaf communities.

    However, if i had deaf kids, i would give them the cochlear implant because it is much more powerful compared to hearing aid and i want to give them the best life experience and the best education. The education for deaf people is poor compared to hearing one due to a lack of bilingual teachers and school fund.

    There is a huge lack of content in sign language. Have you ever seen a wikipedia page in sign language ? Futhermore lot deaf people i have met doesn’t know to write a correct sentence since there is a lack of bilingual teachers. So lot of them can’t do an university course and call a tird person for help.

    I would also give to my kids sign language because, even with the technological progress, they are still Deaf. It won’t cure their deafness. If their cochlear implant break or its production end, they will be able to live on and sign and discover deaf community and their beautiful culture.

    Most of parent haven’t met Deaf people, they don’t know sign language. I think they are affraid, worried. There is a lack of information. Anyway, they did the best they could do with the information given to them at the present time. During my reeducation session, I met a mother of two young implanted kids. She was very very happy to met me, a Deaf adulte. Because i speak, i sign and i shared my life experience. She wanted to know what do they hear. She wanted to know their experience : “It is the same sound as myself ?”

    So, in some way, i showed her that her kids can do it. It reassured her for their futur.

    Rien qu’en lisant le titre, j’ai juste envie de vomir. Je comprends pas les 51 hommes.

    Dans l’amour ya tout une dimension du jeu qu’une personne qui dort ne peut pas conmuniquer.

    Un bon plat, des petites attentions, des compliments, de la tendresse, la complicité dans le regard de l’un.e et l’autre. Écouter, rassurer, etre joyeux, avoir envie…

    Est ce que tu aimes ci et ça ? Pas trop ? Ça va ? Comme ça ? Tu veux qu’on arrête ? Là c’est absent, ya pas de complicité. La dimension objet, peut aussi etre érotique si on aime bien être dominé ou soumis. Se sentir prit, se donner, posseder…toujours avec un cadre.

    Là ya rien. Juste une femme sous sédatif qui dort.
