The hard of hearing are people of all ages who experience hearing loss but are able to acquire, or have already acquired, spoken language. Their primary means of communication is through speech. Those who call themselves deafened may choose to use some finger spelling or sign language to assist with their communication needs. Canadian statistics indicate that between 10 and 15 percent of our population is hard of hearing.
