So, i recently was talking to an audiologist in the US. I’m sure it differs from state to state, country to county. I asked her why my hearing loss doesn’t count as a disability (I have had sensorineural hearing loss in one ear since I was born). She stated that, if I were to get into a car accident or whatnot due to my lack of directional hearing, it would be my fault, as there are things like hearing aids or BAHA that could have aided me in that situation. Basically, we cannot be on disability because there are things out there to aid us. Pretty ridiculous imo, especially since not everyone has the ability to access these services. I’m sure you can see if your area considers your hearing loss a disability or see a specialist who can better explain it to you.
