audism
Anti-deaf prejudice
Audism is discrimination or prejudice against deaf and hard-of-hearing people, particularly the belief that hearing ability is superior or that deaf people should assimilate into hearing culture.
The term parallels racism and sexism: The school's audism showed in its refusal to hire deaf teachers.
Audist attitudes often manifest as dismissing sign language or pressuring deaf people to lip-read and speak.
