There is research proving that deaf people have increased visual abilities.

Own your identity. Love who you are in the world. Love your deafness.

I actually think the deafness makes you see clearer. If you can't hear, you somehow see.

I'm a visual person - when I write, my input is always visual. I worked in television for several years.

I am the fourth generation of being deaf.

But people who think they can project themselves into deafness are mistaken because you can't. And I'm not talking about imagining what a deaf person's whole life is like I even mean just realizing what it is like for an instant.

I think being deaf gave me an increased sense of sight.

I'm not a deaf musician. I'm a musician who happens to be deaf.

I am tone deaf.

But as far as my work is concerned, I see no impediment, and various advantages, to being deaf.
