  1. deaf person

    A deaf person is an individual who has severe to profound hearing loss, resulting in minimal to non-existent auditory input. This impairment can be congenital, or occur later in life, and may require the use of assistive devices like hearing aids or cochlear implants. Many deaf individuals communicate using sign language and are part of the Deaf community, a cultural and social group with its own history, values, and traditionally, its own language. Not all people with hearing loss identify as deaf, and the term's usage can vary depending on individual, cultural, and societal attitudes towards hearing impairment.
