* IAmNotSpock: Those who've only seen Katie Leclerc act as Daphne find it slightly jarring to hear her speak in promotional material sans deaf accent.



** She speaks like a Hearing person because she grew up Hearing- both physically and culturally. Deaf and HoH have accents, because it's hard to learn a language you can't hear.

***The FridgeBrilliance in that backstory is that a lot of doctors/audiologists are trained to see deafness pathologically in a "we must make this child normal" way. There is also the fact that a lot of hearing parents of deaf children have this vision of "perfect"/"normal" that they want their children to be, so when they're introduced to the oral method, they spring on it, clinging to any hope that their child can learn to speak and use their residual hearing in order to function like a "normal" hearing child. It makes perfect sense that Regina could have chosen oralism first before ''really'' being educated about ASL, Deaf culture, Bi-Bi, and the like.
