    It seems that one way to look at it is that the person with the implant would be "bilingual" in a way. I have a friend who is deaf, and she has a husband who hears but is quite fluent (as far as I can tell, anyway) in ASL. We met at my high school reunion. I think "Deaf" culture isolating itself from "Hearing" culture is to the detriment of both.
