Is Hearing Loss A Disability?49

Hearing loss is one part of me, and it has shaped me in many ways. It limits me in some situations, however; it doesn’t exclusively define me

Yes I am a veteran and rated 50% disabled by the because of my hearing loss.

Hi, Zeeza,

This is a wonderful blog post. It’s so clearly written and it portrays your life with hearing loss so well.

I shared your post with my husband because I think it will help him understand how I experience the world. Thank you so much for writing it!

I qaulified for free hearing aids from the government office of Vocational Rehabilitation based only on hearing loss. So yes it is a disability.
