Does anyone know what is the difference between deaf and hearing impaired? I am just curious.

I could be wrong on this
deaf is when you have lost all your hearing hearing is when you still have some of your hearing |

Hearing impaired is the "Politically Correct" term for deaf.
Both the same, just said different. |

My father is totally deaf in one ear, his "good" ear that he had partial hearing in...he had used a hearing aid since he was 5 years old.
Deaf...as far as I know is....total deafness, no hearing at all. Hearing impaired...I believe that there is some hearing capabilities, I think that's the word I'm looking for....... |

$3000 dollars worth of hearing aids. Hearing Impaired, but only around other people, by myself I just turn it up. I watch and listen how many times the other people say, HuH? What? Say that again? I am not in bad shape at all. Funny thing is I almost became a American Sign Language interpeter 15 yrs ago. I still can sign but the skills are rusty.
