Does it include sign language skills or just only oral deaf? I can talk and also use ASL, too.

I can talk and sign in two sign languages (AUSLAN and ASL)

Gotta be specific when you use the word 'deaf', brah.
Unless you mean anyone with difficulty hearing.

I am total deaf and can talk. However, as time goes on, my speech is getting more and more unclear.

im my opinion everyone can "talk". as far as the deaf aspect i think its simply because a deaf/HoH person has not/can not hear how the words/letters/sounds are properly pronounced. it so pisses me off when someone looks at me or someone deaf/HoH or cant pronunciate properly and think their dumb. IMHO the person that thinks that is the dumb one.

And yes I can talk I was late deafened and use a CI.
