Deaf people do not lose language, they can read just the same as a hearing person and can also lip read and sign. Also most deaf people can also speak a little too. However, if the person is deaf from birth it is harder to learn language.

If a person is deaf before learning a language, it can impact their communication and language development.

Why do you think it is important for deaf children to learn sign language?
Sign language allows deaf children to communicate their thoughts, needs, and ideas to others. Sign language is the language of the deaf, just as Spanish is the language of Hispanics.

Was Helen Keller the first blind deaf person to learn how to speak with her mouth?
No, she was not. When she was little, and when she was about ten years old, she found out about another blind/deaf little girl in Norway, I think that her name is Ragnhild Kaata. When Helen Keller learned of Ragnhild Kaata, she was determined to learn how to speak with her mouth as well.
Why do deaf people sign if they can speak vocally?
Being able to speak vocally works OK when a deaf person is speaking TO a hearing person but when both people are deaf neither can hear what the other person is saying. Signing therefore enables communication between deaf people and would be a better way for a hearing person to say something TO a deaf person. If you can hear why don't you learn how to sign!
How do deaf people learn sign language?
I am deaf and I was born and taught how to sign when I was baby. I was then sent to deaf school when I was five and learned sign language there. They move their hands and show and practice with them. They learn from watching and touching.
When deaf people who can hear talk to hearing people do they get the message that sign language is less important?
There is no such thing as as deaf person that can hear, unless you're talking about a hard-of-hearing person, or a person who is legally deaf but has some hearing. In that case, a person talks to another person in a common language, whether it be sign language or vocal language.In these situations, I don't think there's any implication that sign language is less important.
Can English be a deaf persons first language?
Yes. A deaf person can go deaf after learning English, or they can be taught English as a first language, often through lip reading, though this is not a very efficient way to use language.
What is a person that does sign language is called?
Anyone can learn sign language, but sign language is mostly associated with deaf and hard of hearing people which is their native language. (Although quite a few don't know sign language and learned language via oralism method.)
