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.

Alexander Graham Bell was a prolific inventor. He was trying to invent something to help the deaf communicate and ended up developing the telephone.

Mr. Alexander Graham Bell was not deaf, but the phone was a way for the hard of hearing to hear better, amplifying sounds
