Adjective

Deaf is an adjective that describes a person who has a partial or complete loss of hearing. It can be caused by various factors such as genetics, illness, injury, or exposure to loud noise. A person who is deaf may have difficulty or be unable to hear sounds or speech, and may use alternative forms of communication such as sign language or written communication to interact with others. It's important to note that being deaf is not a disability or a limitation, but rather a difference in ability that can be accommodated through various means of communication and assistive devices.

Example

1. The concert was so loud that it left me temporarily deaf in one ear.
2. My neighbor is completely deaf and communicates through sign language.
3. The new school policy on accommodating deaf students includes hiring a sign language interpreter for each class.
