Some Stats . . .

According to the National Center for Health Statistics there are approximately 37 million deaf and hard of hearing people living in the United States.  It is estimated that 1 in 10 live with some degree of hearing loss and over 2.2 million are considered deaf. The Office of Deaf Access estimates 3 million deaf and hard of hearing persons reside in California alone. Greater Los Angeles and surrounding counties is home to over 800,000 deaf and hard of hearing people.

The National Deaf Children’s Society states that 90% of deaf newborns are born to hearing families.

Statistics do not specifically establish any figures concerning any group in particular because of the way census forms are constituted. The United States is divided into states, counties and communities and data concerning logistics and population figures indicates all people with disabilities categorized as one group and unfortunately no distinction is made.
