No clue; I wasn't born deaf. I know several deaf, and I know their answer is no, they don't want it. And they also find it monstrous that hearing parents decide for their children to have cochlear implants; sometimes against their will.
One concept that I'm trying to deal with is the concept of "deaf" and "Deaf". The upper case D makes all the difference in the world. The word "deaf" means you can't hear. The word "Deaf" means you are part of deaf culture. Basil's Aunt would be lower case deaf.
