A young man, born deaf, was visiting his doctor with his parents for a regular check up. The doctor excitedly told his parents about a new medical procedure, which he had just read about in a medical journal. In 10% of the people born deaf, full hearing can be restored through a simple, inexpensive operation. He asked the parents if they wanted a try and they quickly say yes.
That young man was one of the 10% whose hearing was fully restored. And he was so upset with his parents and doctor. He hadn't heard what they were discussing at his regular check up. No one asked if he wanted to hear. Now he complained that he had to endure the constant torment of noise, which he could make little sense of He never wanted to hear in the first place.
