“The deaf believe that they are our<br />

equals in all respects. We should be<br />

generous and not destroy that illusion.<br />

But whatever they believe, deafness <strong>is</strong><br />

an infirmity and we should repair it<br />

whether the person who has it <strong>is</strong><br />

d<strong>is</strong>turbed by it or not.”<br />

-Propser Meniere (1855)<br />
