This article presents deafness in a social context and problems that deaf people have to establish a social network. Deaf people "grow into" the deaf community. We discuss the relationship between this deaf society and the surrounding community of hearing people and the influence of the latter upon the deaf community. The deaf society also function as a "therapy" in general for deaf people.
This article presents deaf people's possibilities of communication. There is a difference in communication skills between deaf people who were born hearing--and have learned a spoken language before the loss of hearing--and those who were born deaf. The later deafness is acquired, the better the individual's ability to communicate in a hearing society. Deaf people are far more dependent upon visual language symbols than are hearing people.
