What is Difference between Deaf and Hearing Culture?

Some of you might know or didn’t know but deaf do have a culture. If you want to know their culture, you have to know their language. Deaf culture use American Sign Language (ASL) to communication to other people such as Deaf, Hearing people who learned sign language. Some people do have an experience to interact with deaf people and They able to tell the difference between hearing and deaf people. There are many differences between deaf and hearing culture but there are Communication, Ways to get attention and Interaction.

. Deaf culture does use body language for communication to understand each other. Also deaf people depend on face expression to understand their feeling. Hearing people do have voice expression that can use voice up and down so people can tell their expression. Another thing is that hearing culture tends to have a conversion and it not required to have a face to face interaction so they can make a conversation without eye contact. Deaf culture required to have a direct communication which mean, deaf people have to have an eye contact.

Deaf culture tends to get the deaf people attention by wave their hand. You know that deaf people can’t hear so they have four senses. If you don’t have one of those five senses, another rest of four senses will be stronger. Since deaf people do have a sensitive eye, which means that when someone tried to give attention, deaf people will notice that.

There are differences between deaf and hearing culture based on to get attention. You need to awareness that deaf people tends to be blunt. There is example that I watch a deaf couple conversation and they talk about appearance each other. Deaf people think it is normal that deaf people tell you that you got gain weight but hearing people think it is offensive because it does hurt people feeling. Deaf people tend to tell graphic like for example deaf people think it okay to tell someone that you have to go to poop. Hearing people tends to be more abstract and show it polite like for example hearing people will tell another people.
