Among deaf people, a temporal lobe area normally dedicated to hearing may begin to process visual signals. This best illustrates the impact of auditory plasticity.

Explanation:

To compensate for the inability of hearing in auditory impaired persons, the temporal lobe area eventually develops itself to be capable of processing visual signals.

These signals stimulate the brain in a manner similar to that of hearing and assist the deaf person in interpreting what is being conveyed.
