An Interesting Clip from My SED 104 Class

Today in my SED 104 class, I watched a clip about a man who was born deaf that had a cochlear implant at age 5 and how it impacted his language. From his perspective, people who are born deaf  shouldn't need the implant because it destroys their identity and language because they would have to have intense speech therapy for many years and would have difficulty with developing language as a young child. For people that did have hearing, but became deaf later in life or after their language was developed could have the implant because they are likely to understand or grasp the English language or any verbal language easier because they had some form of language developed at a young age versus those who were born deaf. I thought it was an interesting clip, wouldn't anyone else agree?
