A hospital or clinic that treats deaf patients, however is more a "clinic for the deaf" as opposed to a "deaf clinic" which implies that the people who work there are deaf which usually is not the case.
The same way that a "handicapped taxi driver" is not the same thing as a "taxi driver who specializes in helping handicapped people"
Do you see the distinction?
-Nah-
