Peedle-Calloo has been Deaf since birth. With a hearing aid he can hear a little, but most of the time he can't be bothered to wear it. He doesn't identify his deafness as a disability, but as himself being part of a linguistic minority. BSL is his first language, and English (written and spoken) are his second language[1].
