SCFHS Newsletter

In our medical practice, we may view deafness as an obstacle to be overcome or a defect to be corrected. Yet this perception, while seemingly logical, overlooks the fact that deafness is not merely the loss of a sense, but rather an identity, a complete culture, and a sign language of its own.
