need your help - not SW-related

Hm. We are known as "Norwegians", and people from the USA as "Americans", are they not? But maybe "the Deaf" will do, in the definite sense. Or Deaf students, Deaf people, Deaf persons and so on. Thanks.

'Deaf' is an adjective. As far as I know, English doesn't mark adjectives with plural, not even when it is used as a noun.

What is the English plural of 'Deaf'? Am working on a presentation of Deaf literacy, and need to be correct. Thanks,
