Alexander Graham Bell was not deaf.  His mother and wife were, and his inventing of the telephone was accidental, he was really trying to invent a way for him to communicate with his wife orally (basically a hearing aid).  Alexander Graham Bell was a huge proponent of oral education, and actually wanted Deaf people to stop marrying and having children because he wanted to eradicate deafness.

Learning to sign or studying American Sign Language (ASL) can be very interesting ot aanyone whether they are hearing or deaf.  \n\nSign can allow people who do not have the facility for spoken language to communicate fluently and quickly where writing or other non-verbal communication can be inconvenient.  The speach disability could be from birth, due to accident or stroke or illness, temporary or permanent.\n\nWithin the deaf community, ASL, like any other spoken language, has an impact on the culture of those who are fluent users, and ASL is evolving and changing as the "deaf culture" develops and changes with new words and ideas.  \n\nWith computers and words processig speach aids now available, keyboards are helping more people communicate without relying on knowledge of sign -- yet we all still use gestures and informal signing when trying to communicate accros language barriers.\n\nChildren in special education can sometimes use signing as a temporary form of communication until theyare able to develop speach or the ability to use a keyboard - or may rely on signing completely if they are severly disabled.\n\nSpecial education teachers and classroom aids study ASL to better teach and understand their students.

No, I haven't. But if you're interested in ministering to the Deaf, Rochester, NY has a huge Deaf population because of the National Technical Institute for the Deaf. I just moved from Rochester, & used to coordinate Deaf Ministries at my synagogue.

There could/would be as many different answers as there are people. One person who is important to me could not even be known of by others. Plus you have to take into consideration culture and when and where and how a person lived and who was influential at that time, etc.
