Hi
This week is Deaf Awareness Week and this years topic is regarding acquired deafness which we believe is interesting as currently in the UK 1 in 6 people have a form of hearing loss.
So we would like to know if you have being up to anything this week to celebrate Deaf Awareness Week, #DAW2020
I personally find British Sign Language an interesting language especially regarding regional differences.

I wasn't aware of this one yet @O2Elaine , cheers for posting.
Celebrating Deaf Awareness Week, I think one thing that would be great to do is to read up and educate ourselves on the topic which I think is one of the reasons these types of special weeks/days/months have been created, to raise awareness and get people to learn more about things.
I found an info page here in case anyone wants to read more about some key facts around deafness and hearing loss, and there's a section also for learning what acquired deafness is.
