After the Civil War, segregation of Black people was justified on the basis of a "one drop rule" which meant a person was considered Black even if they might look White, if they had Black ancestry. In the vlog, I discuss a similar notion, the "1-dB rule" which was used on Deaf people and its implications in terms of Deaf identity and community cohesion.
actually, they are concern how much residual hearing is destroyed after CI for several reasons.1. in case CI went wrong, they have enough hearing for a hearing aid 2. many severe to profound are afraid they'll lose their residual hearing (they were able to benefit from HAs). Its a risk with CI. So some people want to show surgeons can preserve residual hearing. thats just the way cochlear community do, ease any kind of nervousness about getting a CI surgery. They get mad if you interrupt that.
