I think that is something people forget about. Not ever hoh person is going to be the same, and not ever deaf person is going to be the same. I have meet people, mostly hearing, that are learning asl and think that all hoh and deafies know and are fluent in asl.I tried explaining that to someone once, that not ever deaf person knows asl, and they gave me a dumb look and replied "But it is their language, all deaf people are required to learn it." .......just wow.
