I've always thought that having these signers at Dim rallies was just pandering with the "see we really care about you" card.

We bought our house in CA from a deaf couple that had hearing twin girls our son's age. They went to school together from kindergarten to HS graduation. We saw the parents often and always conversed with them. We couldn't sign but they could read lips and their daughters filled in any "unusual" words that they didn't understand. Those were usually about our work in the airlines since there were some work terms that they had never encountered. The husband was a professor at the local college and the wife was an actress.

BTW, the house had some very interesting features, some of which we kept or adapted.

A bit of trivia: Vin Scully, the announcer for the Dodgers, took lip reading lessons so he could tell what was being said between players, coachs, and officials on the field.
