How does she understand spoken English if she's never heard anything before? How does that work? According to that story, she's blind as well, so she can't be lip reading.

I still don't really understand why some people in the deaf community are so upset about cochlear implants, claiming it is destroying the deaf community.

To me, it seems like a community of people with missing limbs saying that using artificial limbs is destroying the missing limb community.
