Her name is Bay. The show was created in 2011, before the slang term "bae" gained widespread popularity (though it certainly existed long before then).
Her ability to pronounce things almost perfectly, is due to a lot of practice, as Daphne's non-biological mother explains she has received a lot of speech therapy. There are noticeable differences if you know what to listen for.
Like some deaf people, she can read lips.
Both reading lips and having good speech take a lot of hard work and commitment, and is not something all deaf people can (or want) do.
-They also explain that Daphne was not born deaf; every year of hearing experience that an individual has will have an effect on how he/she accurately produces sounds and words. The first three years of life are critical for language development, and according to the show Daphne got meningitis when she was three.

Katie Leclerc has Meniere`s Disease, making her hard of hearing. Sean Berdy is more profoundly deaf.
There are varying degrees of deafness and abilities. Hearing aids help some, while others get no benefit. Some deaf people are oral, meaning they use their voices to communicate, while others use sign language.
Also, Marlee Matlin is profoundly deaf as well.
