They just turn up the volume real high. If you were completely deaf, turning up the volume wouldn't help. Deaf people use a machine that is something like a computer with a keyboard and a screen, so that they type their responses, then someone from the phone company reads their response to the person on the other end, then the phone company person types in the other person's response and the deaf person reads it on the screen.

What is the Politically correct way of saying deaf?
Deaf. Deaf just describes a quality about the person. But "hearing impaired," while it may sound nicer to some, actually implies that the person has something wrong with them. Plus "impaired" sounds a bit like someone who is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. As for the "hard of hearing," that or "people with hearing loss" are the preferred terms. Saying "deaf and hard of hearing people" is good for speaking more collectively about both groups.

Hearing Impaired Telephones?
Telephones for the hearing impaired have become technically advanced in the last few years and have several features that make them very useful. Often people don't realize they need a special phone and it is someone else who buys it. It is important for the person who is hearing impaired to be involved in choosing the type of phone that is comfortable and suits their need the best. Being hearing impaired can make a person feel isolated, especially if they live alone. They avoid telephone calls because it is so frustrating to be unable to hear clearly pr have a good conversation. They may not even call when they need assistance because they would rather handle any problem themselves than deal with the telephone. The amplification level of the phone is important. There are phones that are amplified from 15db to 50db. The amplification should be correct for the kind of hearing loss. A hearing aid may help a person while talking directly to people but may not be enough for talking on the telephone. Some extra amplification may be needed. If a person wears a hearing aid they may get feedback from a hearing impaired telephone, so the ear piece needs to be compatible with a hearing aid. Tone adjustment is another consideration, because some people cannot hear high or low pitch sounds. They need to be able to adjust the frequency to one that they can hear. Hearing impaired telephones cost from $50 to $250 depending on the features added and the amount of amplification. Some phones may have extra features that you don't need. Digital enhanced Cordless Telecommunication (DECT 6.0) is the latest technology for hearing impaired telephones. It uses less power than other types of phones, is not affected by interference, has a wide cordless range and gives secure communication. There are some makes and models that expand up to 12 handsets, so there can be one in every room. Plantronics, Inc. is a company that has devoted time and money to researching sound enhancing devices for the hearing impaired. They have been innovating for years and their Clarity phones division offers an amplified telephone with patented Digital Clarity Power. This amplifies conversations on the phone without any distortion or static and allows the user to adjust the level of amplification and sound characteristics in the phone. They have a phone for any level of hearing impairment from slight to severe including high and low frequencies.
Explain why each what person is handicapped 1a blind person 2.a deaf person?
A blind person is handicapped because they have impaired or no vision, which can make it difficult for them to navigate their surroundings, read written materials, or access visual information. A deaf person is handicapped because they have impaired or no hearing, which can make it challenging for them to communicate effectively with others, hear warning signals, or enjoy auditory experiences.
What is a channel in a hearing aid?
The frequencies which the human ear can hear are from approximately 1 Hz to about 16000 Hz (cycles per second) for most hearing aids. When this band of frequencies is split up into smaller bands, say, for example, 1000 Hz wide, the hearing aid now has 16 bands or "channels". This is done because the greater the number of channels, the more accurately one can modify the gain selectively in each channel to improve the ability of the hearing impaired person to hear frequencies where he/she has impaired hearing.
