Whatever the choice of the individual, use of voice is not an indicator of intelligence or academic standing. Conversation Deaf people appreciate the efforts of hearing people to learn and use sign. The slow communication speed is a common experience of anyone learning a new language. A deaf person will understand a hearing person's message even with mistakes, just as a hearing person will usually understand the spoken message of a person just learning English who makes some mispronunciations and grammatical errors. A table in the middle of the room forces people to stand in a circle and provides them with a full view of each other.
Loud noise interferes with successful and comfortable auditory-based interaction.
Facial expressions are a critical part of communication because they convey the emotions and tone of the conversation. Signing without facial expression is similar to monotone speech. However, a loud voice and exaggerated mouth movement interferes with understanding the voiced message. Getting Attention Some of the ways to get the attention of a deaf person are to tap the person on the shoulder, wave hands, flash lights or stomp feet on the floor. Deaf people may use these methods to get the attention of others.
