• Some children are born deaf - their deafness may be genetic, or caused by being born very early, or caused by an infection caught before they were born.
• Some children become deaf when they are young - their deafness may be genetic or caused by an illness or infection or caused by a medicine that was given to treat a serious illness.
• Lots of adults become deaf - their deafness may be caused by listening to too much loud noise, or a head injury, or just because
they are getting older.

Derrick Coleman has been deaf since he was 3 years old, but that hasn’t stopped him getting to the top of his sport.
He plays for a team called the Seattle Seahawks.
When he is playing, he relies on lip reading and hand signals to communicate. He also wears a cap under his helmet to make sure his hearing aids don’t fall out

Being aware of what is going on when I am out and about
Chatting to people on my mobile phone
Chatting to people on my home phone
Being aware of things happening at home
