Why Ring a Bell for ASL is Needed?

DEAF OR HARD OF HEARING

In the United States, approximately 11 million individuals (or 3.6% of the population) identify as deaf or have serious difficulty hearing. Additionally, around 48 million Americans experience some degree of hearing loss.

Hearing loss affects people across various age groups, with about 15% of adults (37.5 million) reporting some trouble hearing. The prevalence increases with age, with 22% of those aged 65-74 and 55% of those 75 and older experiencing disabling hearing loss.

In the United States, approximately 500,000 people use American Sign Language (ASL) as their primary means of communication. While ASL is widely used within the Deaf community, not all individuals with hearing impairments learn or use it due to varying accessibility and educational opportunities.
