Hi everyone,

I have a question about the ASL sign for 'deaf'.

Is there a difference between siging it it starting with the 'd' hand shape at your mouth and bringing it up to your ear, or starting with the 'd' hand shape at your ear and bringing it down to your mouth?

I see it signed both ways and just wondering what the difference is, if there is a difference.

Thanks!
