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.

Obviously! American Sign Language allowed deaf people to communicate with each and for any hearing people who knew sign language.

ASL is the backbone of deaf culture and is a beautiful language with grammar, syntax, poetry, etc.
