A deaf person has 4 other senses through which they can measure their external environment.
Touch = Measures things like: Softness, Hardness, Temperature, etc..
Smell = Measures things like: Odors & Tastes
Sight = Distance, Depth, Direction, Qualities of persons expressions
Taste = Combinations of Bitterness & Sweetness
Sound = Distance, Direction, Harmony, Detection
For those of us with all 5 senses, we SERIOUSLY take for granted how these senses shape our perception and understanding of the world and how these senses help us survive from day-to-day.
Deaf persons can understand things through the 4 senses available to them, just as those with 5 can.
Hope that helps.

Most people who are deaf can communicate in sign language. Also those who have been deaf for a while, but not their whole lives, can read lips and respond to what they think you said if you cant speak sign language.

Through sign language and lip reading. And of course they can read books and use the internet. Many TV programs are closed captioned.

We read lips. Just because I can't hear doesn't mean I am blind.
