Concept

Reproducing Audism

  • By constructing the CI user as "abled" and the HA user as "disabled," the discourse reinforces the Medical Model of Disability.
  • Disability is framed as a consumer choice between prostheses (choosing the "right" device) rather than a social or political issue.
  • Ultimately, the formulation of CI satisfaction perpetuates audism by valuing human variation only as a deviation from "imagined perfection".
