Attitudes Toward Deafness/ Two Conflicting Models
Attitudes toward deafness can be divided into two groups: the clinical and the cultural model.
-
The Clinical Model: Deafness is viewed as a handicap, a medical condition, or a deficiency. Deafness is viewed as something needing to be fixed, through such means as hearing aids and cochlear implants.
-
The Cultural Model: People with hearing difficulties are viewed as a linguistic and cultural minority group within a hearing society, marked by difference rather than limitation.

Parental Decisions for Deaf Children's Education
A physician advises the parents of a deaf infant to pursue a cochlear implant and intensive speech therapy as soon-as-possible. The physician's stated goal is to 'minimize the impact of the hearing deficit' so the child can integrate seamlessly into the hearing world.
