deaf
/def/ adj. 1 wholly or partly unable to hear. (Oxford English
Dictionary)
Deafness
is an unseen disability, which affects one in seven of the population
in the U.K. It is one of the most misunderstood disabilities.
Lack of understanding about deafness can lead to the break up
of relationships, loss of customers to business, misunderstanding
between employer/employee and many other problems.
Most
devastatingly of all, the affected person may lose self-esteem
and confidence and in some cases become clinically depressed.
It
does not take a lot of effort to become aware of the problems
of deaf people, learn how to communication with them effectively
and understand the difficulties they experience in everyday life.
