The hearing impaired

Library for all / The hearing impaired

The hearing impaired have partial or complete loss of hearing resulting in the limited perception of auditory stimuli. The hearing impaired are, in terms of the impact on human communication, the most difficult, as their disability creates major communication barriers.

Means of communication used by the hearing impaired included lip reading, finger alphabet, and sign language.
