Between congenital deaf and deaf people there are very important differences. That is why people with a congenital hearing impairment are also called deaf.

Although this word is foreign to society, it is possible to be deaf and hard of hearing. the difference between This term is used for better understanding. A disabled person we consulted also stated that using this word is not a problem.

Those who have later lost their hearing experience far fewer problems than those who are congenitally deaf, with variations depending on the age of loss.

People who are congenital deaf they can’t talk in. Because speaking is an asset by hearing, they never learn to speak.

That’s why society calls these people “deaf-mute” but it’s not because they can’t speak because they have a problem with their mouth or tongue. Also these people literacy he can’t learn it either. Because they have never heard the sounds represented by all the letters.

There is no language created by sound in the inner voices and thoughts of innately deaf people.

It is not possible for them to think in spoken language. Just as a person who does not know sign language cannot think in sign language, the hearing impaired cannot think in spoken language. If they do not know the language of hearing, they cannot think in that language. It is possible for them to think in their native language if the disability occurs later.

So how is the situation in your dreams?

There is no sound in their dreams. Instead, they only dream of vision and sign language. A person who has no auditory experience in his memory cannot have this experience in his dreams.

born at the University of Chicago deaf physics professor Giordon Stark also confirms this. He argues that thoughts and dreams are completely visual.

A footnote for better understanding: Since sign language is also used in academia, hearing impaired people can also become professors. Innately deaf persons know only one or two words about literacy, which they symbolize in their brains (also the opinion of a disabled person was taken).
