Popular misconception: all deaf people use .

Here in the UK it's actually around 1% of the , and folks.

I'm not discrediting sign language, it's important, just that not all deaf people use it.

I think it's 40% of the over-50's and 70% of the over 70's with age related too.

As someone who is hard of hearing, intelligible speech on TV and film is a pet peeve of mine. And it’s not just on the screen, it’s also a problem on the stage, even on Broadway.

As an actor, it’s something I strive to improve at: “natural” speech that is intelligible.
