What’s the difference between “Deaf” and “deaf”?
Deaf (with a capital D)
Refers to people who identify as part of the Deaf community. They often use British Sign Language (BSL) as their first language and see Deafness as a cultural identity, not a disability.
deaf (with a lowercase d)
Refers to people with hearing loss who may not identify with Deaf culture. They might rely on spoken language, hearing aids, or lipreading rather than sign language.
Including both terms ensures respect for personal identity and lived experience.
