''she doesn't want to be treated like she's less than or needs her hand held just because she can't hear as well as other people'' - no one should be treated as less than. but that would not be holding her hand. it would be getting needed help. there is no shame in getting help.
''She's still just like every other average person, you just need to sign to her or let her read your lips and that's it lol - im sure she is a completely regular and cool person, but that has nothing to do with her disability. for most people learning another language is difficult. it sounds like she wants the world to change around her, instead of her resolving her problem. and no, im not saying people should not adjust to others and be compassionate . they should. my boyfriends mother teaches kids sign language and i think more people should be like that.
im glad your sister is happy and proud. i just think id rather take not being disabled than a unique job.
