But with 1986 statistics, approximately 750,000 (5% of total population) reported having a hearing problem great enough to occasionally cause them some degree of difficulty in Australia, particularly in noisy conditions.

What has caused deaf people to have bad experiences using speech to communicate?
People who were born deaf or became deaf before they were able to develop language have a tough time learning to speak. It is hard to make speech sounds when you cannot hear what sound you are making. Many deaf people who have tried to learn speech work hard to learn exact tongue placement and air control. Even with all of this hard work, they often sound "different". Many hearing people claim that deaf people have a nasal tone because they push too much air through the nose. Because of shyness, lack of self confidence, possible ridicule as a child, or just difficulty learning to make the sounds, many deaf people choose to not use their voices to communicate.

It is more of a feeling that you want your child to be like you: there is honesty in stating the fact. Many deaf people do not see an advantage to hearing; in fact there is quite a controversy over the collinear implant solution that would restore hearing for some deaf people. However, the child will have an advantage in learning sign language to communicate with her deaf parent. Having access to language as a toddler aids learning skills.
