Portrayal of deaf people in the media

This month, during #HearingLossHour, we'll be discussing the media's portrayal of deaf people/people with hearing loss and how the portrayals make you feel.
We'll be discussing...
Which TV shows have got it spot on for you and which fall a long way from the mark?
Are there any characters you identify with - and why?
Which movies have made you cheer and which have made you cringe with their portrayal of a deaf character?
And what about the news? Do you think deaf people are portrayed in a particular way? Is there anything you would like to see change?
As for adverts, how do you think they're doing with their portrayal of deaf characters?
