Would it make sense for “rhyme” to rhyme with “time”?

Or for “through” to rhyme with “two”?

      I’m not sure why you’re crying, but you’re incorrect.

      It is surprising to many people outside of the Deaf Community, but Deaf people can often hear. The Deaf are considered deaf once they have passed a certain decibel (dB) hearing loss. Many people who are profoundly deaf can still hear planes, dogs barking, etc. Hearing a sound does not mean that Deaf people can understand speech. A person with a significant hearing loss generally has difficulty or inability to hear speech even when aided.

      As well, people with cochlear implants are (generally?) also Deaf, but with the implant, they can hear.

      That’s not true, you can be legally deaf and still be able to hear (a bit), just like you can be legally blind and still be able to see (a bit)
