| | A Primer |
| | Some of the ways to get the attention of a deaf person are to tap the person on the shoulder, wave hands, flash lights or stomp feet on the floor. | | | Whatever the choice of the individual, use of voice is not an indicator of intelligence or academic standing. | | | Your shoulder may be tapped in the process of getting someone else's attention. |

| | Deaf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In this view "Deaf" (us) means to experience the world and embrace the values that Deaf people embrace (notice the capital "D"), while "hearing" (them) means to experience the world and embrace the values that hearing people embrace. | | | This creates a Deaf cultural view in which hard-of-hearing represents a view of the world that embraces values from both the Deaf and hearing world. | | | Medically, the term can be used to mean having profound hearing loss, a physiological condition causing an inability to receive or process aural stimulation (i.e., sound). |
