Hear only the things you should hear - be deaf to others.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Own your identity. Love who you are in the world. Love your deafness.
I am tone deaf.
Listen to the sound of silence.
When I was young I knew I was deaf. I couldn't accept it.
I hope I inspire people who hear. Hearing people have the ability to remove barriers that prevent deaf people from achieving their dreams.
I like to say that the greatest handicap of deafness does not lie in the ear, it lies in the mind. I hope that through my example, such as my role on 'The West Wing,' I can help change attitudes on deafness and prove we can really do everything... except hear.
I have terrible hearing trouble. I have unwittingly helped to invent and refine a type of music that makes its principal proponents deaf.
Learn to be quiet enough to hear the genuine within yourself so that you can hear it in others.
There are two worlds: the deaf world and the hearing world. There are some people in the deaf community that feel that hearing people look down on us.
The only thing I can't do is hear. I can drive, I have a life with four kids, I work on TV, I do movies, so the deafness question, is it that they want to know because, what? Not sure.
