Ever asked (or heard) these questions: "Don't all deaf people read lips?" "Is it OK to say 'deaf-mute' & 'deaf-&-dumb'?" "Do all deaf people benefit from hearing aids?" Ever wondered where you could find answers to these & others, in a nontechnical, easy-to-use format? FOR HEARING PEOPLE ONLY fills this gap. It presupposes no prior acquaintance with Deaf Studies, sign language, or any "Deaf" knowledge at all, & is written in a simple, clear, entertaining style. As the deaf co-authors write: "Hearing people--those with normal hearing--do not think of themselves as being 'hearing people.' They see themselves as people. You are the insiders. To you, we deaf people are the outsiders. You call us 'deaf people.' But we deaf people see non-deaf people as the outsiders--'hearing people.' To deaf people, the non-deaf majority are 'hearing people.'" Without doubt, there is a need for such a book. FOR HEARING PEOPLE ONLY is intended for students & laypeople (like you). Prepaid orders only to: HPO Book, 85 Farragut Street, Dept. RB, Rochester, NY 14611-2845. $14.95 ppd., NY residents add $1.05 sales tax.… (altro)

A fine reference for beginning ASL students. It should be read by anyone taking ASL, parents of Deaf and hard-of-hearing children, coworkers of Deaf people, and Deaf and hard-of-hearing people themselves. I read this many years ago when I was first learning ASL. Although it is quite thorough, my chief complaint is its acerbic, often lecturing tone. I don't think such a tone is appropriate for a reference work. That said, it is simply written and a decent starting point. (

One of the best deaf life and culture books I've read -- it runs the gamut from incredibly basic knowledge to new-to-me cultural details. This book should be on the shelves of people who are starting to interact with the Deaf community, and it should also be thumbed through by people who are already comfortable in the community. Be warned, however: because its starting point is "you're reading this because you know absolutely nothing" (one question addresses whether Braille is the written form of sign language(!)), the exhortative tone may be off-putting to readers who feel defensive about their Hearing status.

At nearly 800 pages long and in question-and-answer format, it is worth the cost, but repetitive to read straight through. The authors suggest thumbing through the index and reading only the questions that jump out; it's a good suggestion, and it helps ensure the book is appropriate for all levels of incoming knowledge.

Highly recommended for parents of deaf babies, coworkers of Deaf people, and hearing students at mainstreamed schools. (

A great introduction into the culture of the deaf community. It is in a question and answer format which is helpful. The work talks about what is polite, PC, and stereotypes. (
