Yes, they do. I'm actually hard of hearing, but I can't hear big conversations that much. However, if we're deaf/hard of hearing, our other senses are much greater because we need them and we depend on them to survive. One time, i detected a fire in my house and my mom couldn't smell it. Turns out that the fire wasn't in my house, but it was outside. :) Hoped this answered your question.

To keep your blind and deaf ferret from biting, approach him slowly as not to startle him (if that's what making him bite) . He has a keen sense of smell, let him smell as you slowly approach him. An alternative would be to use a product called "bitter apple"

Is it better to be blind or deaf?
It really depends, but it would be bad to be either. If you are blind, you can' see. You have to have some one read to you and you need to be able to recognize people's voices instead of their faces. It can be hard to learn too. Same with being deaf. And it would be hard to understand people. But a lot of people would rather be blind. Why? Because at least you can hear, smell, and actually learn a little bit more then when you are deaf. But if you ever get blind or deaf, don't ask these questions.
Why do deaf people see better?
Not all do, just like not all blind people have excellent hearing. It is said that when you lose one sense, the other four kick it into high-gear to make up for the loss.

A koala's strongest sense, as with many animals, is its sense of smell. When a joey is first born it is blind and deaf. It uses its sense of smell and pure instinct to find its way to its mother's pouch. Koalas also have acute hearing, but their sight is not as keen as that of many other marsupials.

How deaf people communicate with non-deaf people?
Either through sign language, writing back and forth, an interpreter, or gesturing. You can look on the internet for sign language interpreting agencies near you. They are business who will get you in contact with a professional who can communicate in sign language and whatever spoken language you use.Another OpinionIf you are asking the degree of communication skill, then I would have to say that Deaf people are far more skilled at understanding non-deaf, or hearing people, than visa versa. After all, Deaf people live in a world where they have to struggle to communicate, whereas, hearing people have less of a need to do that with Deaf people. So, in conclusion: Deaf people communicate very well with non-deaf people. And, non-deaf people have a hard time communicating with Deaf people.
