They spent one week in a Deaf camp, but were too afraid to socialize with Deaf kids due to their avoidance of ASL. One week of no interaction. How sad is that!

Unbeknowst to themselves, implantées and oralists are avoided for prolonged conversations by hearing people because of their "deaf" and
monontonous voices. If an oralist
(or an implantée) and a Deaf just so happen to be in the same social function, to whom do you think two hearing people would prefer sitting next at a table? Most naturally, the Deaf would be the one who would be preferred because writing on paper or simple gestures would not
embarrass hearing people.

How do I know about above? I eyewitnessed many scenes whilst I resided in New York City. Hearing people preferred me to them.

That is something that most parents are not aware prior to having their children implanted.
