    Following on this, there's the segment of hearing people that are against any visible signs of hearing loss. You know, the kind of people that say things like "You would be so pretty if you didn't have those things in your ears." :whistle:

    nzsl question

    I just imitate POP, especially since I only use POP with non-signers. Hold out your palm and use your finger and write A, B C, D. If I was signing in ASL I might say "blind, hoh, me, communicate with me, how?" and then imitate it.

    Jehovah’s Witnesses focus on needs of deaf

    The JW's I've come across used the more of the "see, your beliefs really aren't that different from ours" tactic and gave me several stories of deafblind people converting to JW. Real subtle. :rofl:
