Like many ASL speakers (4)

I believe the answer is:

deaf

(Other definitions for deaf that I've seen before include "Not prepared to listen" , "Unable to pick up" , "With impaired hearing" , "Refusing to hear (entreaty)" , "Deprived of the sense of hearing" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
