slacker03150 02/12/18 1:36:46 PM #13:	Hard of hearing has been their prefered term since at least the 90s. That said, my brother is hard of hearing and I dont think he cares if he is called hard of hearing or hearing impaired and I doubt most others care on an individual level, but I can see why they would care if a news paper or a theatre get it right. --- I am awesome and so are you.

Blighboy 02/12/18 1:53:31 PM #20:	Deaf people are really discriminated against though. Probably the most notable example is Daredevil, created as a direct attack on deaf communities, first conceived by the hearing privileged government as a means to incite conflict between the deaf and neo-sight communities, who are often in an uneasy truce due to historical wars and propaganda created by terrorists on both sides. --- https://i.imgur.com/ymuEJsp.gif <cite>Blighboy posted [p:895947066] in 'The term ...
