By A Customer
This review is from: Living With Hearing Loss: The Sourcebook for Deafness and Hearing Disorders (The Facts for Life Series) (Paperback)
This book and all others of this ilk espouse the philosophy that those who are deaf just have to learn to live with it. I say this is wrong. Science can put an end to this condition but these scientists and researchers choose not to do so. It is more profitable to keep bilking the deaf out of what little money they can scrape together from their menial jobs for hearing aids that don't really help and for visits to doctors who look in a person's ears and "sorrowfully" announce that nothing can be done to restore hearing. Money is wasted by organizations to pay for close captions that are garbled most of the time, especially on news programs. Taxes are wasted on schools for the deaf where the deaf are taught that they are losers and have no right to expect any of the good things in life that hearing people take for granted. Interpreters charge a fortune for their services. Books like this offer no comfort or peace of mind. They are just part of schemes to make more dishonest money. Reading a book like this is going to make hearing people stop making fun of the deaf? I don't think so. Easy for a hearing person to write a book like this and say, "just live with it." If the author is deaf, then he has had his head buried in the sand. Save your money, everyone. Don't waste your time and money on books like this. If you want fairy tales, read Mother Goose or Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien.
