contributed to the history, culture and understanding of the community of deaf people? Nothing! Limbaugh, in fact, represents a kind of negative. His deafness was virtually self-inflicted due to his illegal use of pain medication. He's a very wealth man and he used his pocket change to have a $ 90,000.00 coclear implant installed in his head. There's a tremedous irony here. The history of the deaf is repleat with examples of the deaf children of the very wealthy and powerful being the ONLY ones believed worth educating. But aside from that, the underlying message is that if one can't afford such a device or if such a device doesn't benefit a deaf person, that deaf person isn't worth much. I think this list of names should be severely edited and returned to one of dignity.
386:
individuals who became deaf after 19 should be classified as "late deafened persons". The names should be selected extremely carefully, for otherwise the list could become too unwieldy to become uninteresting. The criteria for inclusion in the list of "notable late deafeded persons" need still to be hammered out. Also I am surprised of the paucity of the names of many other really notable Deaf individuals. They have been featured in many sources: H.Lane "When the Mind Hears", D.Wright "Deafness", Braddock "Notable Deaf
Persons", F.Bowe "Notable Deaf Persons", Moore "Notable Deaf Persons", etc.

achieved their reputations and greatness as deaf people? Partially deaf or deaf after their career was completed? That describes half the human population of the world over age 60! What's the big deal? It doesn't distinguish these people at all and it trivalizes the lives of people who achieved greatness or notarity and were severely or profoundly deaf at the time they made their mark on the world.

Helen Keller's socialism was is what she was known for in her lifetime - she was an active member of both the socialist party under E. V.

I agree with this completely. Persons like Rush
Limbaugh, Bill Clinton (Ronald Reagan is also a bit hard of hearing) do not belong on this list. They are still hearing, period. Also the use of the term "hearing loss" is problematic. To Deaf persons, not able to hear is not a hearing loss. The list of

There are some tremendous problems on this page. The most glaring is that the inclusion of some people such as Bill

Here's a best case scenerio: Laurent Clerc is on the list. Who is he? Clerc is the *central* most important and distinguished individual in the history of

Hartford deaf communities. He is a legend among the deaf because he founded the first system of deaf education in American history. Now THAT'S a case of of being distinguished as a deaf person.
