Sometimes it's unfortunate to be different. Then at other times being different
             makes you special, unique. I see being deaf as being as much of a blessing as a curse.
             You would have completely different out looks on life. I presume that it would be more
             difficult for the children who are born deaf, to not understand what's going on around
