  Just look it up.

  It’s like being blind: a lot of blind people can still see but not well. Or using a wheelchair, a lot of people in wheelchairs can still stand short periods or walk short distances.

  ETC

  Society oversimplifies these things to be binary, but in reality they are a spectrum.

    How come you can say someone’s partially deaf when deafness already covers people who can partially hear? Isn’t that redundant?

      Yes, it is redundant. The things people can say are not always completely medically accurate.
