When deaf people who can hear talk to hearing people do they get the message that sign language is less important?
There is no such thing as as deaf person that can hear, unless you're talking about a hard-of-hearing person, or a person who is legally deaf but has some hearing. In that case, a person talks to another person in a common language, whether it be sign language or vocal language.In these situations, I don't think there's any implication that sign language is less important.

Who uses sign language and why?
There are many people who use sign language. # Deaf, hard of hearing and deafened people often use sign language in order to communicate with other people who share the same common language. If not, they can communicate through a person who knows the sign language and a majority language (e.g. English). # Hearing parents are teaching their babies sign language because it enhances their communication skills and decreases their frustration, especially at a time when they do not have the capability to speak. # Non-verbal people who are hearing may use sign language to communicate, especially when they have conditions that make them non-verbal.
When deaf people sign to each other they change the way they sign when they are around hearing people why?
Deaf people don't necessarily change the way they sign around hearing people. Most ASL signers don't need to adjust how they communicate simply because they're around hearing people. Since hearing people are the majority, it would be inconvenient to adjust conversation every time they were in a public place, etc. If a deaf person does change the way they sign around hearing people versus being surrounded by deaf people, it may be because hearing people frequently watch signers. It can be uncomfortable to be watched by everyone around you. They may use less of their signing space than if they were at home or surrounded by other deaf people, which is the sign language equivalent to 'whispering' or speaking quietly.
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!
