Functionally deaf refers to individuals who have significant hearing loss that severely impedes their ability to understand speech and participate in conversations, even if they may retain some residual hearing. This condition often leads to reliance on visual communication methods, such as lip-reading or sign language. Unlike complete deafness, those who are functionally deaf may still perceive some sounds but cannot effectively use them for communication.
