    The deaf who refuse implants tend towards the “there’s nothing wrong with me why are you trying to fix me” mentality, not the “I don’t want to hear because it looks weird.”

    And adoption of eyeglasses is likely higher than most other peripherals. Not to mention, putting in contacts is a chore and requires a little planning, while putting on glasses can be done in seconds in virtually any situation.

    Yes, you will get people who refuse to adopt VR/AR. We still have people in the world who refuse to adopt electricity, but if you had asked people 30 years ago if they would carrot a phone around in their pocket you’d have been laughed out of the room… yet here we are.
