How many deaf people are there in America?

Answer 1

lol. Who knows!? I would have to say about 1,738.

^^ actually it's a much larger number than that. I just began taking a sign language class this year and in the U.S. alone there are 25 million people who have hearing loss or who are deaf.

Answer 2

Quoted from the Related Link: "About 2 to 4 of every 1,000 people in the United States are "functionally deaf," though more than half became deaf relatively late in life; fewer than 1 out of every 1,000 people in the United States became deaf before 18 years of age. However, if people with a severe hearing impairment are included with those who are deaf, then the number is 4 to 10 times higher. That is, anywhere from 9 to 22 out of every 1,000 people have a severe hearing impairment or are deaf. Again, at least half of these people reported their hearing loss after 64 years of age. Finally, if everyone who has any kind of "trouble" with their hearing is included then anywhere from 37 to 140 out of every 1,000 people in the United States have some kind of hearing loss, with a large share being at least 65 years old."
