This chapter concludes that deafness in early modern England encompassed a wide spectrum of experiences, and challenges long-held assumptions that prelingually deaf people were excluded or legally incapacitated. Archival records show that many deaf individuals married, inherited, worked and engaged fully with their communities, revealing far greater integration than contemporary texts imply. At the same time, powerful prejudices endured, shaped by theological ideas linking impairment to sin and by cultural beliefs that equated speech with reason. By combining legal, social, medical and theological perspectives, the conclusion argues for a more nuanced understanding of disability, one grounded in lived experience as well as representation.
