You can learn to communicate with a hearing impaired individual using sign language. Sign language classes are sometimes offered in night classes. Books on American Sign Language (ASL) are usually available in the public libraries. Many individuals also are able to lip read if you speak slowly and distinctly.

What is proper etiquette when speaking to a deaf or hard of hearing or deafened person?

Look them directly in the eye as you speak to them since many hearing impaired people can lip read. Don't try to speak in an exaggerated manner (as if speaking to a child or mentally impaired person), or you will offend them, since they are hearing impaired and not mentally impaired. They will let you know if they are able to understand what you are saying, and they may use hand gestures to communicate with you if they haven't learned to vocalize. Never assume or ask a deaf person if they can lip read. That is considered offensive by many. But if they can't hear you,, they can't hear you and the best way to facilitate communication is by writing to each other on a piece of paper. On another note,, the ASL alphabet is quite easy to learn and after some practice, you'll find you can spell words quite quickly. If you know the alphabet in ASL, the you are able to communicate with deaf people. It would also not be hard at all to learn some basic signs. The link at the bottom of the page can help you.


Is Lou Fant deaf?

IMPROVED: The first reply is correct, though he is considered legally deaf, and he does read lips. Not exactly. He is hard of hearing. He lost 80% of his hearing to an ear infection at the age of 3. Deafness is different from being hearing-impaired. The hearing-impaired only need hearing aids & don't have a large percentage of hearing loss. The Deaf use ASL or are oral.
