The salary quoted here is the average for service-wide (including management). The actual average carrier salary is closer to the teacher one-and the teacher one varies by state. My state is higher-believe me, I'm glad teachers get it! It's just that it's popular to bash letter carriers, and the Postal Service in general, these days. Not saying you are, just that there are misconceptions out there.
I don't know a statistical breakdown of what Deaf/Hoh people do in the USPS, but I think most of them work in mail processing, such as clerk or mailhandler. Some are in management, as well.
