Oh yeah, so unfortunately and unfair to the deaf victims! I personally experienced like that a few times in the job world... so did many others, too.
Even it's still going on in some cases nowadays despite more and more hearing people learning about the deaf. It's something we still need to educate and impress more about the deafness and what we can do in the job world and life by using media or such that are rather more effective way, due that since the deafness is still the least known handicap amongst the hearing people.
So this is a part of the problem that we need a real solution to fight against. ADA may be helpful at times but sometimes not. One example: Any boss could get by choosing another over you so how could you know or prove that you're more qualified than the guy he/she hired. It's not that easy sometime depending on the situation.
