Deaf dating sites can offer a welcoming space to meet new people and build relationships with abled and disabled people.

Many singles are living with a disability — from hearing loss to paralysis — while trying to find that special someone.For example, more than 5% of people in the world suffer from disabling hearing loss, according to the World Health Organization.

Of course, singles who are deaf don’t necessarily have to date each other, but sometimes it can be nice to be with someone who understands the challenges of hearing loss and who’s been through similar experiences.
