Definición

  • Deafness refers to the loss of a portion or all of the sense of hearing. This is the pathological definition and should not be confused with the term “Deaf” which is always capitalized and defines the culture of persons who cannot fully hear, do not view their deafness as a pathological or medical condition, and whose choice of communication is typically Sign Language.
