I think deaf people can see letters and are taught sign language, and so they associate those letters with images, feelings, and impressions just as hearing people do. So in that sense, they wouldn't really be exempt from thinking in a language like English, Spanish, etc.
If you were deaf AND blind, however, that would be the real question, because you wouldn't be able to associate anything sensory with your language, except for the hands as they are forming sign into someone else's hands. In that instance, I think those people may be thinking at a deeper level than language. Maybe just pre-verbal emotions, visceral instincts, etc. Interesting question.
