Salamatak – Constant Struggle of a Deaf Person

Hearing is one of the main and most important senses for a living creature. We as human only appreciate the importance of this sense when we lose it.

Deaf people are those with a lost sense of hearing either for genetic reasons or other factors. Loss of hearing is usually associated with loss of speech. We must know how to deal with deaf people to know how to communicate with them.

Deafness

Deafness is a disorder that occurs when humans lose their ability to hear, understand or distinguish sounds either partially or entirely. Patients are inspected to measure their ability to hear sounds around them and how they can distinguish different sounds based on frequency and range.

Causes

60% of children deafness cases are found in children under the age of 15. This percentage is at its highest in low and middle income countries (75%) in comparison to high income countries (49%). Preventable causes in children include:

Diseases such as measles, rubella, meningitis and chronic otitis media.
Birth complications such as Birth congestion and low birth weight
Consumption of poisonous medications in the ear by pregnant women and infants.

Communication

Many can benefit from learning how communicate with deaf people. This includes early detection and determining the right treatment by reducing the impact of deafness on the child’s development and educational achievements. In the case of deaf infants and young children, early detection and treatment via detection programs can improve the linguistic and educational capacity of the child and his family in the future.

Deaf people can also benefit from using hearing aids such as hearing devices and other medical devices that enables them to learn how to communicate by learning skills such as reading lips, using written and printed texts and sign language.

We all must learn how to use sign language as well as work to increase the numbers of sign language translators which can help those who suffer from deafness to feel included.
