"If you're deaf, how come you can talk?"
This question is very understandable for the people who dont know much about deaf people and their culture. It is hard to fully understand how you can speak but not hear because of the world wide belief all deaf people cant talk or hear. "The quick 'n' easy answer is "Well, some deaf people have good speech skills and others prefer not to use their voices at all." Deaf people are individuals just like hearing people. People should not stereotype these individuals just because they are deaf. There are many distinct groups of deaf people just as there are of hearing people. To speak or not to speak-- is it really even a choice if people are thrown off either way?
