Thanks for the heads-up, Alison. We’ve learned something new and have amended the article.

Please remove the ‘hearing impairment’ and replace with Deaf or HoH (Hard of Hearing)
When writing about deafness, many writers will use a capital D when referring to aspects of deaf culture, and a lower case d when speaking solely about the hearing loss and some just simply use D/deaf. Never call the Deaf or Hard of Hearing (HoH) ‘hearing impaired” or ‘deaf and mute” These labels imply that the Deaf person cannot think or they are
broken because they cannot hear. “Deaf” or “Hard of Hearing” are the appropriate terms.

With thanks
Alison
