Mainly to be assisted to learn sign language or lip reading. Also to have devices to help in some situations as i.e. a light that shows when the doorbell or telephone is ringing, an alarm clock with vibration or light, fire alarms with lights, burglar alarms with lights and to have the TV channels set with teletext. Furthermore, as there are dogs trained for the blind, there are also dogs trained for the deaf.
One need that the deaf have is socialization, since many of them are severely isolated by their inability to commuicate with people who do not know sign language. Many of them will appreciate every effort that a person makes to learn sign language and communicate with them. Even if the communication is through writing, with a person who doesn't speak sign language, it is so much better than total isolation. Computers are a big help too, since they can talk to people who don't know sign language, online. There are programs to make a computer useable for a deaf person, such as captions instead of sounds.

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!
