Maybe if I rephrased Legally Deaf to " Totally Deaf " aka Stone Deaf, would help some understand better.

How can I make my own rules when its written in stone? Quit kidding yourself.

I'm sure that she see you as deafdyke by mistake.

Get a medical dictionary. Edjumacation is key.

You think a medical dictionary defines law? You make me sad. This is why I work so hard at my job.

Did you even bother to read what you linked to?

"If the average of the frequencies at 500Hz, 1000Hz, and 2000Hz is 90dB or higher, the person is considered deaf."

That is exactly what I said. 90 db is a profound hearing loss. That is deaf. That is still some residual hearing.

Because you have combined two different things, cultural deaf and audiological (medical), to make your own hybrid from the two! I think this is what Teacherofthedeaf was getting at.

He says he is asking about audiological status, but then makes up his own rules. Community and culture is a separate question.

He also doesn't seem to understand that profoundly deaf does not mean absolutely no hearing.

Teacher of the Deaf, what exactly do you teach?

wrong again with your assumptions,

The word "legally" means as defined by law. You said you were "legally deaf". That means that you are deaf as defined by the law.

That quote was in the second paragraph. It supports what I have been saying 100%.

Lets see, You have ....
Total deafness, never any hearing since birth.
Profound/severe deafness, some hearing in various degrees including HOH.
Late deafened, total loss of hearing at a later stage in life from infant to adulthood which can be any combinations of the above.
So where is your assumptions that are wrong come into play?
Oh I know, youre confusing and mixing in the self identifiers instead of sticking to the so called rules you again assume.

 

[Teacherofthedeaf]

Teacher of the Deaf, what exactly do you teach?

I teach students who are deaf and hard of hearing.

 

[sonocativo]

The word "legally" means as defined by law. You said you were "legally deaf". That means that you are deaf as defined by the law.

where is the law on that? None, its a medical term.

teach them what? more specific.

Profound hearing loss means you are deaf, not hard of hearing. You can't just make something up and decide it applies to the entire word. You will be unable to find one shred of evidence that anyone but you says that a profound hearing loss makes someone hard of hearing.

My assumptions are, You are a hearie, correct?

Why would "legally" anything be a medical definition? That would be "medically" deaf.
