Stereotypes
The majority of deaf people can't speak
What is not all deaf people are the same?
I speak slowly and loudly
What is shouting so a deaf person can better hear me?
Some notes on this:
**Usually this is not the case as it distorts speech. It is better to speak naturally and at a comfortable pace. Not too fast and not too slow. Exaggerating mouth movements also makes it harder for a deaf person to understand what is being communicated.
The understanding all Deaf people use this to communicate
What is all Deaf people sign language?
Some notes on this:
**The ability and motivation to sign differs from user to user. It depends on whether the deaf person was encouraged or discouraged from signing during his or her childhood, and whether they picked up signing later in life. Deaf personnel has communication preferences. Some people communicate entirely in sign language, while others use a blend of spoken and sign language, while yet others choose to communicate solely through speech.

The reading of this movement
What is lip reading?
Some notes on this:
**Some Deaf people can read lips very well, while many can't. On average, only approximately 30% of spoken English is visible on the lips. This is due to the fact that numerous speaking sounds have the same mouth actions. On the lips, the letters 'p' and 'b', for example, are indistinguishable. Lip reading can also be challenging for those with mustaches or beards.

What is Deaf people cannot drive?
Some notes to break this stereotype:
**Deaf persons are capable of driving. It has been shown that deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals are better drivers and have fewer accidents than hearing people. When compared to hearing people, deaf people are more cognitively aware of their surroundings while operating. The completion of a hearing test is not a step in obtaining a driver's license. Ambulances and fire trucks contain flashing lights that can be seen.
The belief they all belong to the same culture
What is Deaf people understand and participate in Deaf Culture?
Some notes on this:
**Not everyone who is deaf wants to be a part of Deaf culture. Deaf culture necessitates the use of a common language, as well as shared values, beliefs, customs, and practices. Not everyone who is deaf uses sign language. Some deaf folks desire to blend in as much as possible with the hearing world and avoid interacting with other deaf people.
The acceptance of sign language as one
What is the interpretation that sign language is universal?
Some notes on this:
**There is no universal sign language. Every country has a distinct sign language. ASL, French Sign Language (LSF), and British Sign Language (BSL) have influenced the sign languages of several countries. When signers from different countries get together, they can communicate more easily using International Sign (IS), gestures, and body language than they do hearing people speak different languages.

The reading of these dots
What is Deaf people can read braille?
Some notes on this stereotype:
**This is a typical assumption. Braille is used by some blind individuals. Hearing, not sight, is the trouble for deaf people. Unless a deaf person is deaf and blind, there is no reason for them to read braille.
The lack of childbearing
What is Deaf people cannot have children?
Some notes on this:
**Because their bodies operate normally, deaf people can have children. There is no reason why they shouldn't be able to have children or why they shouldn't be permitted to.
The recognition of disrespect in Deaf Culture
What is turning away when signing?
Some notes on this:
**Much like how it would be rude to walk out of the room when someone is talking to you, in deaf culture, it is considered rude to look away when someone is signing to you. In the deaf community, this is the equivalent of holding your hand over someone's mouth to prevent them from speaking.

What is the individual's identity?
Some notes on this:
**Hearing loss comes in various degrees. Hard of Hearing is a term used by certain people who are legally deaf. Deaf is a term used by certain people who are also legally deaf. It relies on the person's identification, the sort of hearing loss, and the name he/she/they desire.
The waiting to magically not be deaf anymore
What is waiting for some miracle cure to hear?
Some notes on this:
**Some do, while others do not. Many Deaf individuals who use sign language and are proud of their Deaf history do not want to be able to hear. Those who identify with Deaf culture are designated with a capital 'D.' They are proud of their Deaf identity and perceive themselves as a cultural minority rather than a disability group.
The negative thinking that sign language is
What is the assumption that sign language is bad?
Some notes on this:
**Some people have a dumb belief that Sign Language is bad for Deaf people because they will depend on it too much which will make them unable to communicate with hearing people. Because not all deaf children can access spoken language depending on the level of their hearing loss, many research studies have demonstrated that blocking deaf children from learning sign language causes linguistic and cognitive delays. This may have a negative impact on their ability to learn. Furthermore, studies have demonstrated that sign actually aids communication rather than harming it. Some deaf persons are able to converse with hearing people through speech. Those who were unable to learn to speak, on the other hand, have devised means to communicate with hearing individuals and make themselves heard. Writing on a notepad, SMS, video calls, gestures, and so on are some examples.
True or False: Deaf people have poor literarcy
False
Some notes on this:
**Deaf people, who were not deprived of language through eye, have high literacy and are fluent in languages (ASL, English, and/or other languages). Many Deaf people, who never hear nor wear hearing devices, are highly fluent in written English and highly literate. Because, language is amodal (brain-based, not speech-based).
