Definition of 'Deaf'

The Issue
How do we define deafness?

The Canadian Association of the Deaf's (CAD) position
Deafness is medically defined by the extent of loss of functional hearing and by dependence upon visual communication.

CAD recognizes a person to be medically/audiologically deaf when that person has little or no functional hearing and depends upon visual rather than auditry communication.  "Visual means of communication' includes Sign Language, lipreading, speechreading, and reading and writing.  "Auditory means of communication" includes voice, hearing, and hearing aids and devices.
