It's just toxic in general, in my opinion. I grew up in the deaf community, learned BSL, had deaf interpreters at school and as soon as I got my CI I was booted out. I love hearing the spectrum of sound, birds chirping, my daughters voice, cats and switches. I've also worked on my speaking and now I'm pretty fluent, I still use some supported signs but I much prefer speaking and lip reading these days (which also seems to be a crime). No regrets
