No, not all individuals who are considered "dumb" are deaf. The term "dumb" traditionally referred to someone who is unable to speak but is often used inappropriately to describe a lack of intelligence. Deafness is a condition related to hearing, while intelligence and communication abilities vary independently of hearing ability. It's important to use respectful language and avoid misconceptions about disabilities and cognitive abilities.
Are deaf people lucky to be deaf?
Being deaf, I don't find deafness as a sign of weakness; just an inability to hear. I truly am lucky to be deaf. I could communicate with a beautiful language- ASL. (American Sign Language.) There also are many sign languages in different countries. For an example, there is French Sign Language. So bascially it is like as if I am a foreigner and you are an American. There is no difference.

And you don't want to say deaf and dumb. Just say deaf because there is actually no correlation between being deaf and being dumb. There are some dumb deaf people just like there are some dumb hearing people. The term "deaf and dumb" started when people believed that deaf people were incapable of higher thought because they could not understand or express themselves.
But then in this case i guess the word dumb was meant to mean "mute" as in unable to speak and not "stupid"
Anyway, just say deaf because some deaf people do make sounds when they sign and some can even speak but not as clearly as a hearing person would.
Sign language, there are several versions, depending on where you live in the world.
How does blasting the stereo make you deaf?
It injures the hair cells in your inner ear that do the sensing of sound.
Because in otitis media the fluid in middle ear impede the sound tramsmission so cause low frequency conductive type hearing loss but if some inflammatory substance pass the oval window in this case sensorineural type hearing loss can occur.This type hearing loss mostly affect highfrequency region.
When hugging someone with a hearing aid is it normal to hear it screech?
The screech or squeal you hear when hugging someone with a hearing aid is caused by sound waves. Hearing aids amplify sound to help the person hear better, and typically some of the sound waves escape out of the ear unnoticed. If you get too close to the hearing aid, however, instead of escaping out into the world, the sound waves are recycled back into the hearing aid. This is similar to putting a mic in front of a speaker. Screech!
Most of the newer hearing aids have the technology to identify this sound and reduce it within microseconds, so they screech very little.
Either way, if you are lucky enough to get a hug from someone, just disregard the sound, and enjoy the "squeeze" instead of the "screech"!
