I’m currently in an ASL class (level 2 of 4 I will complete) and my professor mentioned that the term “hearing impaired” can be offensive. My brother has bilateral hearing loss and doesn’t sign, but my family and I always used the term to describe him. Have you heard of it being seen as derogatory?
