How would a deaf person use a cell phone?
Q. Maybe this is a stupid question, but how would someone who is deaf talk on a cell phone?
And I'm not talking about hard-of-hearing, I mean like someone who hears Nothing.
And this doesn't include texting.
Why in the world would a deaf person need a phone for calling/how would they use it?

A. With a neck loop that plugs into the headphone jack, if they are able to use hearing aids.
Note: Hearing aid needs to have telecoil (t).
Another option is portable tty that connects directly into a cell phone. Any deaf person can use this option, hearing aids or not.

edit:
There is a myth that has been going around for a long time that implies deafness makes one mute. That myth is complete nonsense too.
Deafness does not mean one can't talk. Deafness does not physically remove a person's voice. Deafness is only an inability to hear, or in some cases .. hear fully.
Deaf who do not talk either never learned to talk, have something unrelated to their deafness that prevents them from talking, or choose not to talk. None of that, however, means they are mute.
Mute is more of a medical term anyways. It is not a term commonly accepted by deaf people, even deaf who choose not to talk.

Oh, and as far as 911 goes. You can still dial 911. You do not even need cell phone service for that. Any cell phone, whether it has service or not can dial 911. Its the law, all cell phones with or without service are required to have that.
Also, if you dial 911 and hang up they will still come. They are required by law to check on all hang ups. They can now triangulate your location from cell phone towers too and newer cells phones do have an e911.

Many places have text to 911 too. My state does not, but many do have that.
