What is it like to be hard of hearing?

Canadian Hard of Hearing Association: Newfoundland-Labrador
It is almost impossible for a hearing person to know what it is like to be hard of hearing, just as it is equally difficult to know what it is like to be blind, or to suffer from any particular disability unless one lives with it. However, while it is possible to have some understanding based on education, experience and involvement with people with special needs, complete understanding comes from having lived with hearing loss and its isolating effects.

Was this program developed for children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing?

Sign2Me.com | FAQs
No. The SIGN with your BABY® program was developed for hearing babies and hearing parents. However, because the program is based on American Sign Language, it is also useful for children who have special needs, including deaf children. It is important to remember that children who will use ASL as their primary form of communication will need the support of other professionals who will teach them all elements of ASL.

Are state and local estimates of the deaf and hard-of-hearing population available?

The U.S. Bureau of the Census has not included a question on hearing impairment since 1930, and no plans have been announced to include a question in the year 2000.
