that doesn't sound like much of a "community" to me. like, it's a disability. if someone doesn't have the social bonds and material necessities that deaf and hearing people rely on, suddenly it becomes a lot more disabling.
Yes but deaf people have their own language group and culture that that entails. You get some really interesting inter community fights about it, especially surrounding things like coclear implants. Like I can see both sides of the argument, it's a quite interesting conundrum.
