Currently, it is hard to say. But with 1986 statistics, approximately 750,000 (5% of total population) reported having a hearing problem great enough to occasionally cause them some degree of difficulty in Australia, particularly in noisy conditions. Reference: Gallaudet Encyclopedia of Deaf People and Deafness. New York: McGraw-Hill, 1986.

Is Lou Fant deaf?
IMPROVED: The first reply is correct, though he is considered legally deaf, and he does read lips. Not exactly. He is hard of hearing. He lost 80% of his hearing to an ear infection at the age of 3. Deafness is different from being hearing-impaired. The hearing-impaired only need hearing aids & don't have a large percentage of hearing loss. The Deaf use ASL or are oral.

What is the difference between writing the word deaf with a lowercase d or with an uppercase D?
Lowercase "d" in the word "deaf" represents people who cannot hear without assisted hearing devices or cochlear implants. However, uppercase "D" refers to the Deaf culture. So, you could say, "I'm deaf, but I'm not Deaf," which would mean that you can't hear, but you still associate mainly with the hearing population. You're audiologically deaf, but not culturally Deaf. This is mainly for people such as Late-Deafened Adults who grew up hearing and then lost their hearing as an adult. Many if not most choose to remain in the hearing culture.
When deaf people who can hear talk to hearing people do they get the message that sign language is less important?

How many deaf people in the UK use BSL as their preferred means of communication?
It looks as if 50,000 people use British Sign Language as their first language or preferred means of communication. There isn't a definitive number of *deaf* people that do so, but we can use the population of the UK and the number of deaf people, in total, in the UK, to estimate. Current population of the UK: 60,776,238 as of July 2007 (estimate only). There are 8,945,000 deaf and hard of hearing people. Dividing that by the current UK population gives us: 15 percent of the population of the UK are deaf or hard of hearing. Now, 50,000 * 15% = 7,500 people in the UK who use British Sign Language as their first language/preferred means of communication are deaf. No Its like 8,998,107
What has caused deaf people to have bad experiences using speech to communicate?
People who were born deaf or became deaf before they were able to develop language have a tough time learning to speak. It is hard to make speech sounds when you cannot hear what sound you are making. Many deaf people who have tried to learn speech work hard to learn exact tongue placement and air control. Even with all of this hard work, they often sound "different". Many hearing people claim that deaf people have a nasal tone because they push too much air through the nose. Because of shyness, lack of self confidence, possible ridicule as a child, or just difficulty learning to make the sounds, many deaf people choose to not use their voices to communicate.

Is it selfish for a deaf person to want their child to be deaf. Son is hearing impaired and girlfriend is deaf. Their baby can hear but she said she wishes the baby was deaf.?
It is more of a feeling that you want your child to be like you: there is honesty in stating the fact. Many deaf people do not see an advantage to hearing; in fact there is quite a controversy over the collinear implant solution that would restore hearing for some deaf people. However, the child will have an advantage in learning sign language to communicate with her deaf parent. Having access to language as a toddler aids learning skills.
