Easily.  \n\nAs mentioned there is a device that attaches to the phone called a TTY (or TTD) with a keyboard; they call a TRS (Telephone Relay Service) where a translator reads the TTY, dials up the person being called and then voices the conversation. The operator then listens to the hearing person and translates the call back to the keyboard to the deaf person.\n\nI have several deaf friends and get these calls all the time.\n\nThe newset twist though is VRS or Video Relay Service, this is for deaf people with a broadband connection and a web cam, they just have to sign (ASL) to the operator and the operator will translate to the hearing person.\n\nOf course for a deaf person to talk to another deaf person would use the same devices but not need the operator.  \n\nBut every deaf person i know uses a text mesage service like a Blackberry or other SMS device.\n\nAnd the telephone has a strobe light that blinks when the phone rings.

I've never heard of anything like that, and I've worked with the deaf a lot.  Of course, if you have Parkinsons, or other conditions that make you shake/tremmor, you will sign with a "stutter."

This is so, well, mean.  A mentally retarded person, who is blind and deaf would most likely be in a home of some sort.  There would be ways of communication.  \n\nAnd it is most likely that this person is not mentally retarded, but is called "dumb" because of the lack of formal education that is suited to his needs.  There is a special form of sign language that is used for people who are both deaf and blind.

Nice that you want to help them but be careful. I work in los angeles and see them every day. The old man who lives upstairs was inviting them in and giving them food and money. Pretty soon the homeless were hanging around the building. They break things and leave a mess inside the bathrooms. Now we lock the gates at night and don't allow them around here. \n\nI got to know some of them...they have no ambition. One guy I know drinks every day. His father cares about him and has told him if he stops drinking he will get an apt. for him and give him $300 every week but he refuses to go to rehab. \n\nI feel sorry for these homeless people but wish sometimes they would just go away.

Ok, deaf people have little lights in the corner that blink when the door bell rings. blind people can hear teh doorbell. Helen Keller must have had an electric collar that shocked her when it rang. \n\nsorry, my dad made it up and when he said it, it was so funny, idk how funny it is now.

Because homeless people are HILARIOUS. Have you ever seen Bum Fights? Oh my gosh, homeless people are always walking around with that meth-withdrawal alcohol stupor look on their face, they stink like a skunk that crawled out the bunghole of another skunk, and they generally just make themselves targets. Besides, it feels great to be able to be mean to people like that and then go home and soak in my spa.

I couldn't find anything exactly on the subject in my search, but it is very easily argued that sign language, for a deaf person is the only form of communication, and thus can be the only way a deaf person could "say" anything.  Say has been extended to anything you write (or sign you name to), absent coersion or undue influence, or police misconduct.  Since writing something isn't that far off of signing (as in sign language) something, it is very likely that a court would determine that anything you sign can be used against you as well.\n\nThis might make a good bar exam question...

"Without even knowing a word". Reread what you said and really ask yourself, do you honestly assume that deaf people do not know the written language?   Do you really think they stay at home throughout their entire childhood years not learning how to read, write, learn math, science, history, and so on like you do too? Do you think that they can learn all those things without reading the words in the textbooks? Regardless of the fact that some deaf people sign only in ASL, we all still have to learn English anyways in order to read and write and get an education. The real truth is that deaf people are BILINGUAL. Many learn both ASL and English. (Some only learn English and never ASL if they grew up in the oral method which is myself.) \n\nThe mind is not only limited to sign language. It can communicate in the written language as well. The mind does not need the vocal cords in order to think thoughts in words like a spoken language. It varies among deaf people. One would probably like signing to themselves when they think and talk to themselves. I've seen it occur. I am sure that for some, they sign to themselves in their minds or use a mixture of both words and signs. Some may mostly use words in an an expression of "Deaf English" which is not as perfect as English based on the sounds that we do not hear.\n\nI'll give you an example, I'm sure one who only signs strictly in ASL mainly would probably think "me store" or "me need store" if they're thinking about going to the store because that is how you say it in ASL. You would think "I need to go to the store". I always think in English like you do because that is my main mode of communication and expression. Even though I may be fluent in ASL, but I do not think in sign.\n\nI do not learn new words auditorally like you do. I learn them by reading it first and then learning how to pronounce it. Either someone would tell me how to pronounce it or I would look it up in the dictionary and it would describe the pronunciation. However, if I have no idea how it is properly pronounced, I just do my best to guess it. I'm pretty good at guessing the pronunciations because I love reading and have been speaking all my life. I've always been very good at English than the average person. So my mind would speak the words that it guesses what it would sound like.
