Is Lou Fant deaf?
IMPROVED: The first reply is correct, though he is considered legally deaf, and he does read lips. Not exactly. He is hard of hearing. He lost 80% of his hearing to an ear infection at the age of 3. Deafness is different from being hearing-impaired. The hearing-impaired only need hearing aids & don't have a large percentage of hearing loss. The Deaf use ASL or are oral.
