Now that you mention it, I've seen very few hard-of-hearing characters. When they do appear, they're usually old, and the joke is that they have had to be shouted at (which doesn't actually help us at all IRL). I'd like to see such a character, but of course with disabilities there's always the risk of inspiration porn.

I've seen one show which has a character who is deaf. His wife and kids all use sign language to communicate at home and given the speed of their signing it seems like the actors are actually fluent in ASL, which is really cool.

The Dragon Prince has a young adult character who's deaf and uses ASL.

Well, "ASL" I assume in the way that the other characters speak "English," since it's a fantasy setting. She uses sign language that's shown as ASL to the viewer.

I'm not hard-of-hearing, but I think Eileen on Supernatural was done well. The actor is deaf, too.

There is a (beloved by fandom) deaf character played by deaf actor in Only Murders in the Building.
Sound of Metal is a brilliant movie but it's about person struggling with hearing loss.
But you are right, I don't think I've ever seen hard of hearing characters that are not the butt of a joke

In addition to the characters in the responses above, which I agree on the only murders in the building, I (as a person who is not deaf) think it's done really well -- like there's no question when the character begins to sign, it's not taken as a joke or to be pitied, it's just this dude who happens to be deaf, which as a person who counts as a minority in other ways, I prefer to see. Which isn't to deny all that this particular thing about me implies, and carries, but I'm not just a stereotype or this one particular idea of X. if that makes any sense.

There's a deaf character in the show The Last of Us. Again, I always appreciate when the actors are actually deaf, which the actor actually is, and he's a really good actor, I hope he gets his dreams (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8R7IiUvpKG4). Anyhow, if you know this show...I won't have to explain much more.

I also remember Switched at Birth, but I don't quite remember everything and I have no idea how it holds up and how someone who is deaf/hard of hearing would receive the characterization and experiences portrayed here. I just remember thinking the lead actore was cute and why don't we see him in more things?!(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Berdy)

I will agree with you, there's still a ways to go.

DA
I really need to watch Last of Us, but I have trouble with post-apocalyptic shows right now sadly
