r/deaf is a subreddit with 49k members. The most common kinds of discussions are advice requests and pain & anger, and the community frequently discusses deaf, asl, looking for, struggling, and hearing loss, and they frequently recommend/review baby monitors, hearing aid, and headphones/earbuds.
There are many distinct Deaf communities around the world, which communicate using different sign languages and exhibit different cultural norms. Deaf identity also intersects with other kinds of cultural identity. Deaf culture intersects with nationality, education, race, ethnicity, gender, class, sexual orientation, and other identity markers, leading to a culture that is at once quite small and also tremendously diverse.
