Are they maybe "opposed" to been seen like that because there was no hope for any solutions besides just being OK with it?

In the future when it's more accessible and cheaper, shouldn't being born without hearing be considered a "fault" of sorts, as you can now introduce this sense to them, like most others being born with hearing at birth?
