For starters, the deaf community is made up of people who identify as deaf or hard of hearing, but it doesn't stop there! Hearing people who are militants of the cause, sign language interpreters and translators , CODAs (acronym in English for children of a deaf father or deaf mother), friends and other relatives, are also included in this group.
A crucial factor in the identity of deaf or hard of hearing people is that there are oral deaf people, who normally use devices or cochlear implants, read lips and verbalize. And those that communicate through sign languages, such as Libras (Brazilian Sign Language).
