Certainly not bad.
By the way, anyone have any ideas why NotKirby hasn't had any conversation over an introduction in the past half a week or so?

Deafness is not a disease (though it can be caused by one), and I know plenty of deaf people who speak, some even very well.
There is also a huge difference between being unable to speak and unwilling to speak. The overwhelming majority of deaf people who do not speak fall in the second category.

Ok, it's not a disease, I just didn't know what to call it(affliction, perhaps?).
My mom used to work for a program called Dogs for the Deaf, which is a lot like the seeing-eye dogs. I remember this one deaf girl(she wasn't totally deaf, just partially) could talk, but she couldn't really form the words right. It's kind of like when a retarded person talks(yeah, I know, not politically correct).

Yes, it's very difficult to know if you're pronouncing words correctly if you can't hear them. It's a feedback thing, not a inability to produce sound. I dated a woman who went deaf when she was 33. She spoke very well 
It probably depends a lot on whether you were born deaf or it happened to you sometime after you learned how to talk. I imagine it's a lot harder for someone who was born deaf to learn how to talk right.
Littlebot: (to human) Hey, I like your icon!
human: Thanks, I've always liked shining armor.
Littlebot: Well don't lose it. That would be just plain sad.
human: Indeed it would. A knight without armor is like a day without sunshine.
Littlebot: Why is it always raining here?
human: Maybe you are a Rain Goddess.
Littlebot: I kind of like the sound of rain on the roof, I guess.
human: Do you like standing outside in the rain?
Littlebot: I like standing outside very much.
human: Does it bother you when your green hair gets wet?
Littlebot: Sure it does.
human: Yet you stand outside anyway?
Littlebot: My mother used to tell me not to talk to strangers. I wonder if this counts?
human: I think it does. You should scream and run away.
Littlebot: Oh, I will. Don't you worry!

I seem to recall that the girl didn't speak very loud, just strangely, kind of like someone who's not familiar with english, only more so(and less grammar problems).
People who were born completely deaf find it usually very difficult to speak normally. But I know somebody who was born with hearing problems that were serious enough that she couldn't understand unless she read your lips, and still, she spoke normally.
By the way, she was also transexual, which made a strange combination. I always wondered what her social life was like.

If a deaf man talks to himself in the forest, does it make a sound? 
(Ok, really bad joke, but no worse than some of Kirby's. )
