Most HH people would require certain accommodation based on different needs. Accommodation varies. BTW, HH also includes people with mild hearing loss, too. Don't talk like a deaf person? What do you mean? Do you have a video of yourself talking?

Tomm, My piano piece to you...and yes, that's me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZRV-xqKEoU

God forbid people don't go around and accuse people with limited sight for trying to emulate people's vision that are fine. Sometimes you have people who have never ever heard any sound in their life and don't have any concept of sound much like a blind person who do not have the concept of...

Approximately 13% of the U.S. population are those 65 and older according to the 2010 US Census. That would approximately translate to 4.6 million of them with hearing loss out of the 36 million people with hearing loss in the United States. You still have a size-able population of 31 million...

If all of the sea ice melted up in the North Pole (Arctic) how much would the ocean water rise around the world?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59YN8_lg6-U Tommy Edison, who has been blind since birth, talks about describing colors to blind people. Auto caption works great, fyi.
