The ability to hear is as important as the ability to speak. You cannot say that any of the five senses is less important. You need to smell; you have to taste food. You cannot live a normal life if you are unable to hear or speak. Sight and touch are also equally important. So never take any of the senses for granted and pay attention towards it if you find something wrong. Let’s discuss the hearing problem and its impact on a person’s daily life. You can lose the hearing for various reasons such as aging, injury, genetics and other causes.
I know a person who was so passionate to become a doctor. But the fate has something else for him. When he reached the age of 7, he realized that he could not hear with his one ear. It was like a shock to his parents. They consulted many doctors, but now he only Hears with the one ear. The hearing is one of the most critical senses as everyone already knows. Without hearing from the people, you cannot talk to them.
Now it is the time to take a look at the impacts the hearing problem leave on one’s daily life:
• Education:
In the previous times, it was not possible for a deaf person to study. In fact, they were not able to get the necessary education. But now the time has changed. Still, the people suffering from the hearing problems cannot get an education like a normal person. They need special method so that they could understand the concepts well. They need the specialized training because they will be unable to understand their teacher due to the fact they cannot hear.
• Employment:
It is a fact that the person having difficulty in hearing is not able to work efficiently at his workplace. If he is an employee and manufactures goods then in the noise of machines he will find it hard to listen to his supervisor. But it does not mean that they do not deserve the equal employment opportunities. In fact, it is the responsibility of the state to give them the opportunities to get an education and work as a useful citizen.
Conclusion:
Indeed hearing is essential to living a regular life. But the deaf people also have a right to live a healthy life. You should not make them feel that they are different from you. In fact, you should do everything to make them think the essential part of the society. The state should provide them the equal educational and employment opportunities so that they could play a productive role in the community using their skills. If you know a person, who is not deaf but still facing a problem while hearing then speak louder to him. But do not shout at all. Speak slowly in front of his face so that he could understand what you are saying.
