My sister lost her hearing at a very young (pre-speech) age. When we were children, when she was in a room by herself, she would “utter” quite spontaneously, and yes, the volume did elevate with excitement. On the other hand, don’t most hearing people “utter” and get louder when frustrated?

Name : ED25560, Gender : M, City : Richmond, State : VA, Country : United States,I’m studying American Sign Language and have interacted with a decent amount of deaf people, from little children to senior citizens. Some were born deaf, others lost their hearing from various illnesses. Nearly all have some speech, like one teen boy I met who was born deaf but could still speak a little. When deaf people are frustrated, they’ll groan or mutter like hearing people would.

They can make sounds perfectly or awfully. So it is possible to say we, deaf people, scream when frustrated in any way. We are human beings, nothing more or less.

No more than you or I do as people who can hear. Remember that a deaf person (depending on the amount of hearing loss they have) cannot monitor the loudness of their voice the way you and I do. Profoundly deaf people can learn what loudness ‘feels’ like and can monitor their voices, but obviously not with the ease hearing people do.

Name : Sarah28395, Gender : F, Race : White/Caucasian, City : Rochester, State : NY, Country : United States,I have worked with deaf children doing volunter work, and I have worked with the public before in customer service. Some of my customers have been deaf. In my experiences I have come to know that deaf people can yell or scream, and in some instances even talk. They can’t hear you, but they do have vocal cords that work. But it depends on the person as to whether they yell when frustrated. Just like anyone else. It’s personality. Hope I could help!

Deaf people are no different than hearing people. Some deaf people scream when frustrated. Others deal with the frustration in other ways. I tend to internalize it so as not to bother other people. The answer may also depend on where I am at the time. I certainly will not scream if I get frustrated at work. If I am home, I may complain or otherwise verbalize my frustration.

Name : Ray30068, Gender : M, Disability : Deaf, City : Bettendorf, State : IA, Country : United States,I went to school at a university that shared a campus and housing with a school for the deaf. At my campus job, I had to communicate with many deaf people. Most of the time, we would write down what we wanted to say on a piece of paper.I have also worked with a deaf person at work. The woman I knew personally could read lips and hear a little bit. A lot of deaf people can hear a little bit, but not enough to make out speech for example. I have seen deaf people using sound to communicate, especially when trying to communicate with a hearing person. Also the dorm that was set up for deaf people was quite loud. I asked the woman at work why they play their music so loud and she said they could feel the sound (probably the bass). Your cat doesn’t know sign language and can’t write, so I think it is probably trying to communicate with you the only way it knows how.

Name : Richard31981, City : Pittsburgh, State : PA, Country : United States,Crying is instinctive behavior in cats, and your deaf cat probably cries all the time because he cannot hear himself. However, Deaf people learn social behaviors the same way that hearing people do, from other people. Thus, both deaf and hearing people may scream when frustrated as this is normal human behavior. Deaf people may scream at inappropriate moments if they are not aware of the auditory environment, or to get attention.

Name : Marilu30941, City : Hayward, State : CA, Country : United States,I also had a deaf cat for a while. He liked to bash the empty water cooler bottles. Very loud! He also liked to sit behind the left side of the upright piano to feel the notes. Now I also had a deaf friend when I was about 2-10 years old. She also liked to sit right next to the piano. She did talk in kind of a crying way, and bit loudly. It was a bit like a strong foreign accent. She did scream when frustrated but no more than a foreign person would, or a nondeaf person would.

Deaf people will sometimes scream when frustrated it mainly depends on the person.
