I'm deaf (small d, for those who understand that) and while I am also encouraged by this event, I don't want people to assume that all deaf people need to be 'cured'. We aren't guinea pigs nor are we failures and not everyone can be 'fixed'. " This treatment is only applicable to a particular and rare type of deafness, meaning that its implications are not as widespread as some headlines might suggest."
