I think that's true, that many hearing people do misinterpret deaf people's facial expressions and body language. I think that hearing people should make an effort to try and place themselves in the other person's shoes and see how it would feel. Take a course in sign language or try and visualise being blind to help put themselves in their shoes and therefore understand their needs better.
