Another way to put it - that because DHH people cannot rely on hearing speech or the spoken word, they are have a 'sense' as it were to 'read between the lines' and pick up the essence of what is being spoken by visual cues and body language, plus surroundings. It is very hard to lie to a DHH person, they can see right through you for the most part. That is why many are seen as blunt and straight-forward, we don't 'beat around the bush'.
