Your dog is barking, but you can't hear it! Your best friend is telling you joke, but you can't catch it! terrible! The people who have hearing loss (consider) deaf.
It's not easy being deaf, and although some kids are born deaf, many others lose their hearing later on. So it's important to know how (be) a good friend with anyone in the Deaf community. Here are some ways.
Be patient and do not give up on a friend hearing loss. If you repeat what you are saying (loud), and it isn't helping your Deaf friend, try to write it down or use signals instead.
Also, remember that deafness isn't the same as being stupid. Deaf kids are just as smart as anyone else. Don't treat your Deaf friends like they are not very smart. they can't hear you, there's nothing wrong with their brain.
Don't forget about texts, (email), and so on. These are much (good) ways to keep in touch with your Deaf friend than phone calls. If the two of you can sign, a video call is great!
It's fun to communicate with others. We should support all of (we) friends, and make new ones!
