Many deaf folks reject the use of hearing aids because they view their deafness as a positive, or their culture as important (their signing and shared experiences). While it should always be up to the individual to decide what they want to do to their body, it’s never as straightforward as “we can do this, so we should”. My first thought (as someone who does not stutter, so my opinion is worth very little here) is that we send a poor message to those with stutters if we use technology to pretend stuttering doesn’t exist. Again, just food for thought. I’d be more curious to hear what someone with a stutter thinks.
