From what I’ve read, most of the protest in the deaf community currently is deaf parents insisting they have the right to deny treatment and audible education to their children—which they want to do because it will be too late for the children to get the treatment themselves when they’re adults. If it were possible for their children to get the treatment and learn spoken language once they grew up, and potentially leave the deaf community, parents would have less motivation to deny treatment to them as children.
