Did you know that hearing privilege can be weaponized into domestic violence in Deaf-hearing relationships? Although this is an all too common type of abuse in Deaf-hearing relationships involving domestic violence, it is often overlooked or minimized.

To recognize Domestic Violence Awareness month, we are sharing this video that includes examples of how abusive hearing partners may take advantage of their hearing privilege to hurt their Deaf partners.

Thank you, Amanda, for bringing attention to this issue.
