Hello. Can one "hear" rhymes in sign language?

I think it has something to do with hand shapes and movements

Words that are signed similarly 'rhyme'

Poetry doesn't need to rhyme.

Thinking about it you could do a lot with rhythm, timing and emotion.

People with hearing loss often speak but struggle without being able to hear themselves.

So question, is it genuinely called 'hearing loss' in the deaf communities around the world? I know here in the states, since I've gotten close to some in the deaf community, I've found they are REALLY not ok with being called anything but 'deaf'. It's part of their identity and calling it hearing loss is actually really irritating to them.
