Have you experienced anything similar?

No child should be deprived of language! Language starts at home, from birth. Please support us, this takes 2 minutes. The consequences of language deprivation can be devastating @BDA_Deaf @NDCS_UK

THANK YOU so much @BBCEurovision for providing #BSL interpreters for #Eurovision for the first time in history! I hope this will now become a permanent fixture? Not only does it make the show #accessible for #Deaf viewers, it adds a whole extra level for the hearing audience too!

[Lauren Fletcher-Harris @MsLoloJ]

Hugely proud of @bjfletcher and his amazing colleagues @EdinburghUni who developed a new glossary of #computing signs in #BSL to empower #Deaf people working in (or learning about) #tech to discuss it in their own language. A richly deserved award. Congratulations! 👋🏻👋🏻 #BDA2023

These 47M views have done more damage, have more power, than all the time, effort and activism put into educating people about hearing aids, hearing loss and deafness. He has more reach than any deaf celebrity I know. He's exploiting our community and I hate it. #MrBeast #Deaf

[Lauren Fletcher-Harris @MsLoloJ]

LOVE this #timelapse of Stephen Iliffe’s gorgeous portrait of my fiancé Ben & our son Joey in the #PeakDistrict!

It's one of 54 stunning photos of #Deaf & #Deafblind people featured in Stephen's @DeafMosaic exhibition at @KingsCrossN1C. On until 28 May.
