What is Deaf and Hard of Hearing? Click to open

Definition
Hearing loss ranges from mild to profound. The distinctions between the terms "deaf", "Deaf", "deafened", and "hard of hearing" are based principally on the individual's preferred language (spoken or sign) rather than on the actual degree of hearing loss. Deaf, deafened, and hard of hearing individuals may use hearing aids, cochlear implants, or other assistive listening devices.
