Deaf!Peter Parker Spiderman au (MCU) where he starts going Deaf in one ear when he's like five and it slowly gets worse but when he's with Uncle Ben when he gets shot, his ear starts getting substantially worse but he grew up speaking and signing for the mass majority of his life so he still sounds "normal" and quips against the bad guys as Spiderman. When Tony goes to recruit him, he has hearing aids for both ears now and the worse ear has severe hearing loss whereas the other one has moderate hearing loss. Tony obviously notices and while they're talking, he can tell that Peter has some trouble following what he's saying so he switches to sign and he knows it because of working with Clint for so many years. Peter is surprised that Tony signs so he asks, 'You know sign?' and Tony responds back, 'Well obviously.' and Peter asks him back, 'How did you know I'd know it? Not all Deaf people sign you know?' to which Tony responds, '1. Aunt Hottie told me about the hearing loss and you using ASL. 2. Clint's Deaf too and he noticed you signing to yourself as Spiderman.' and Peter just sort of nods, not expecting to be able to communicate so easily with Tony but he makes sure to sign back, 'Don't call her aunt Hottie.'
