My first cousin became profoundly deaf before age 1. She went to the Houston School for the Deaf. They would not allow any sign language. She was forced to learn to lip read and speak. It sounds cruel, but Vicki could talk and sounded very close to normal. So normal, that many people did not realize that she was deaf. She was so happy when her children could hear. As babies they learned that mom could only hear high pitch squeals. Their cries were really strange, but got their mothers attention.
Right I have no problem with that. What I'm saying is someone hearing a question for the first time in their life is not likely to respond.
