Hearing loss, also known as hearing impairment, is a partial or total inability to hear. A deaf person has little to no hearing. Hearing loss may occur in one or both ears. In children hearing problems can affect the ability to learn spoken language and in adults it can cause work related difficulties. In some people, particularly older people, hearing loss can result in loneliness.
Sound and the Deaf community. Deaf people have learned about how sound works, how it travels, and it's volumes. Deaf people actually know a lot about sound, sound plays a role in their lives. Deaf people can not only see how sound works, but they can feel its vibration. Deaf people construct their world around the resources of movement, form, and sound. A huge misconception among hearing people is that Deaf people live in a world without sound.
