You let them trreat you like the poor deaf employee that has to do anything I say because he can't do any better, and you just reinforce their ideas that deaf are not as capable as hearing. No one deserves to have their basic civil rights violated. You cannot allow emploers or anyone else to rob you of your human dignity.

I know you are absolutely right. My friends still won't do it. I won't do it because we cannot afford to lose our house on the mortgage. That's the problem. It is easy for you to say that. But, if it is a violation of OSHA law, I will damn sue the company.
If you do not have a mortgage and you are lucky, then you can do it.
