Should we protest against RNID Conference? RNID copy G Bell's Theories

I received a letter from RNID - I copy what it says - lots of hearing loss related, no mention of Deaf identity, deaf culture, or sign language. More encourage cochlear implants, more cure for Deaf to become Hearing - what is going on at RNID Biomedical research!!!???

"Hearing the Future - RNID Conference on hearing and tinnitus research, London Wednesday 14th November 2007.

Our speakers come from diverse range of scientific and academic backgrounds - but what unites them is their expertise. They will be discussing a range of topics including:

* How the ear and the hearing system work; where things can go wrong and what we know about tinnitus - Professor Alan Palmer, MRC Institute of Hearing Research, UK

* How do cochlear implants work? What devices might be available in the future? Dr Bob Carlyon, MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, Cambridge, UK

* Can we biologically restore hearing - Dr Jonathan Gale, Ear Institute, University College London, UK

* How is tinnitus treated now and will a cure be possible in the future? Dr David Baguley, Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge, and University of Cambridge, UK

* What will genetics research tell us?
Dr Maria Bitner-Glindzich, UCL Institute of Child Health
