How does this sound?

As I read the history of cochlear implants, I found that the individuals in the Deaf World were never consulted about developing a device such as the cochlear implant to help them hear. No one had asked them if they really wanted to hear and not be Deaf anymore. The Deaf that had cochlear implants placed during the development of the cochlear implant was raised to believe that they were disabled and needed to be fixed. I believe that if the Deaf were asked about cochlear implants during the stages of development of this device, the inventors may have found that this device was not wanted by the Deaf community. The cochlear implant may have never been developed if the Deaf community had been a part of the decision-making process.
