There have been some deaf people who have achieved celebrity status in part as deafness is not a visible handicap, does not show up in photos. Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of the Girl Scouts had a hearing disability. By the way there is comparatively little harrassment and ridicule of deaf people, there is not even a popular nickname for them, unlike the many terms for visual impairment: Eight Ball, Four Eyes, Window panes, glasses-face, etc are common, and visual impairment is visual- deafness is not immediatly noticeable and might be more easily concealed. There are many different degrees of handicapping situations, but mental retardation is a most serious one that cannot be (Conned) by donning specs or hearing aids.
