A deaf person's fear of hearing people

Phobia. That word comes from the Greek word "Phobos" which means irrational fear. Many People have them. You have this irrational fear and then have this healthy, normal fear that most people would identify easily with such as the healthy fear for height.

Check out the list of phobias.

I'm sure there are many more kinds of phobias out there that haven't been cataloged or documented. But one phobia I'm thinking among deaf people is the irrational fear of hearing people.

Does such a phobia exist?

What I've learned in life is that one cannot simply discount anything that may sound ridiculous out of hand and discard it as hogwash when it comes to the human mind. If you look at the list of phobias in link I provided you can see the many strange phobias enough to wonder whether those phobias actually exist. Well, the human brain is a strange place and when there's fear that strikes deep and hard into the brain it'll manifest itself as a phobia in whatever form for whatever reason.

Now, I am wondering.

Is there such a thing among the deaf population the fear of hearing people? Being around hearing people? Meeting them? Are there deaf people who take pains to avoid hearing people at all cost? Do they get panicky around hearing people? Do their palms get sweaty? Extreme nervousness or the feeling of extreme dread? The feeling of aversion? Do they panic at the mere thought of meeting a hearing person or group of hearing people? The reason for the irrational fear of hearing people could be many. Perhaps the underlying fear has to do with communication and language. There could be more to that as well.

I'm betting that there is such a thing where some deaf people have an irrational fear of hearing people since the human brain is a strange place where fear manifest itself over time. And so I decided to come up with a phobia name for deaf people's irrational fear of hearing people, should it even exist. The key is finding the right suffix word and then simply add the root word "phobia" to it.

Here it is.

Anthroacoutophobia - fear of hearing people.

In other words, a deaf person's fear of hearing people.

The word "anthro" is Greek for people or the human race itself while "acouto" is a Greek word for "hearing, listening, of or for hearing."

Here's my question. If you're deaf, do you have anthroacoutophobia? Fear of hearing people?

Most likely not.

But for what's worth I believe there is a phobia of a hearing person's fear of deaf people.
