Robert Hoffmeister's chapter is excellent on the anomalous social and ontological position of hearing children growing up in Deaf families, a position neatly encapsulating the contested nature of audiological versus cultural Deafness: as he says, for CODAs "the identity issue is a psychological division having no physical demarcation ... in essence we must borrow our parents 'physical condition as part of our own identity process." (p. 196).
