How is it that some people can hear low-frequency sounds but are deaf to higher-pitched sounds?
This can happen due to the unique configuration of the individual's inner ear hair cells. If the hair cells responsible for detecting higher frequencies are damaged or missing, the person may struggle to hear those sounds even though they can still hear low-frequency sounds. In some cases, medical conditions or age-related hearing loss can also contribute to this difference in hearing sensitivity.

What has caused deaf people to have bad experiences using speech to communicate?
People who were born deaf or became deaf before they were able to develop language have a tough time learning to speak.

Even with all of this hard work, they often sound "different". Many hearing people claim that deaf people have a nasal tone because they push too much air through the nose. Because of shyness, lack of self confidence, possible ridicule as a child, or just difficulty learning to make the sounds, many deaf people choose to not use their voices to communicate.
