Is deafness a disability?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer 1 (United States)

Legally, it is considered a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). However, there is much debate. Many people believe they have a disability due to their inability to hear. However, some feel they are not disabled because they can function normally with modern technology.

Answer 2 (United Kingdom & The World)

In the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Italy and most of the modern world, it is classified as a disability.

Because deafness prevents the individual from having a "normal" life. Their social and work abilities are affected, there are a large number of careers they cannot perform and so on.

Therefore it is legally classified as a disability, because it "disables" the individuals ability to have a "normal" life.

Even if there is equipment available to make their lives easier, it does not mean they are not disabled. In the same sense that a double amputee who is given a pair of prosthetic legs is still disabled.

The United Kingdom is known to have the fiercest and strictest disability protection laws on the entire globe.

Why do people go partially deaf when they have cold?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sometimes, more so in some people than others, a cold will result in swollen Eustachian tubes along with the typical swollen sore throat and swollen sinuses and nasal congestion. If you blow your nose with force when congested, especially if you hold one nostril closed as you blow, sometimes the nasal drainage is forced into the Eustachian tubes from the nasopharynx. These tubes connect the nasopharynx to the middle ear (also known as pharyngotympanic tubes). When these swell, they can allow fluids, that would normally drain from the ear and tubes, to accumulate and not drain. This can muffle sounds due to the retained fluid behind the ear drum and in the middle ear. This accumulation of fluids can allow bacteria to grow and cause ear infections, as well.

How do you approach a deaf person?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can tap them or somehow make eye contact with them.


If they know sign language, you can wave your fingers up and down in their line of sight; this is a polite way of getting their attention. If they see you, you can put the fingers of your dominant hand in the palm of your other hand and make a brief rubbing motion - this means "excuse me."
