When Hands Talk The Deaf Can Hear

Hearing is something that many people take for granted. However, there are millions of people who were either born deaf or have lost their hearing due to an illness or injury. Statistics have shown that over one in a thousand people are totally deaf. Sadly, those people never get to experience the sound of laughter or music. However, the invention of sign language has allowed the deaf people to “hear” by observing the movement of hands.

Sign language is nothing new; it has been around for several centuries.Confused? Here ‘s a little help . It was invented back in the sixteenth century by a man named Geronomino Cardano. Cardano also wrote one of the first books for deaf people that taught them how to learn the alphabet using their hands. Sign language does wonderful things for deaf people. Many deaf people are able to successfully hold down careers because they are able to communicate by using sign language.

Additionally, there are many deaf people who are wives, husbands and parents. They are able to communicate important messages to their loved ones because of sign language. Being born without hearing or losing one’s hearing can be extremely difficult. Fortunately, being able to communicate by talking with one’s hands makes it a-lot easier.
