deaf man
Depicts a man with one hand raised near his ear, commonly understood as a sign for deafness or hearing loss
Meaning
Depicts a man with one hand raised near his ear, commonly understood as a sign for deafness or hearing loss. It often conveys "I can't hear you," requests for repetition, or acknowledgment of hearing difficulty. Frequently used in accessibility contexts, captioning discussions, and deaf community references. It can also mean someone is listening closely or pretending not to hear. Because the gesture overlaps with general "cupping the ear" usage, intent can be ambiguous; context usually clarifies whether deafness, inattention, or a request to speak up is meant.
