Not all do, just like not all blind people have excellent hearing. It is said that when you lose one sense, the other four kick it into high-gear to make up for the loss.

How do people who are totally deaf from birth articulate their thoughts?

If a person is totally deaf from birth. They have never heard any language or words for that matter. So they would pretty much have their own way of processing thoughts. Pretty much have their own language. I don't know if it would necessarily be words. Since they have never even heard a word. When they see something new. Would they automatically think to call it something? Would they know to call it something? Is that human instinct? Deaf people, do not think in words they think in pictures. Their language is a visual language. Hearing people think in words because that is our language. The Deaf have a different Language. When they see something they would automatically think of the word/sign for that particular thing.

Is it better to be blind or deaf?

It really depends, but it would be bad to be either. If you are blind, you can' see. You have to have some one read to you and you need to be able to recognize people's voices instead of their faces. It can be hard to learn too. Same with being deaf. And it would be hard to understand people. But a lot of people would rather be blind. Why? Because at least you can hear, smell, and actually learn a little bit more then when you are deaf. But if you ever get blind or deaf, don't ask these questions.

How deaf people communicate with non-deaf people?

Either through sign language, writing back and forth, an interpreter, or gesturing. You can look on the internet for sign language interpreting agencies near you. They are business who will get you in contact with a professional who can communicate in sign language and whatever spoken language you use.Another OpinionIf you are asking the degree of communication skill, then I would have to say that Deaf people are far more skilled at understanding non-deaf, or hearing people, than visa versa. After all, Deaf people live in a world where they have to struggle to communicate, whereas, hearing people have less of a need to do that with Deaf people. So, in conclusion: Deaf people communicate very well with non-deaf people. And, non-deaf people have a hard time communicating with Deaf people.
