  Good luck going against "deaf culture." Deaf (with a capital D) people are extremely resistant to change or anything that threatens their community.

    We've all changed - haven't we? :)

      I'm not sure what you mean. Certainly, if your invention is good enough, I'm sure you will be able to find some success, even if you don't change Deaf culture as a whole.

        I think it is more suited to a research project in a University. There are still a few things to be figured out. But to your point, I meant that cultures do change; willingly or unwillingly, when faced with disruptive and effective technology. The strange thing is; they sometimes willingly change for the worse.
