Hearing Care for All: Innovations in Extending the Reach of Hearing Care |
Do you feel like hearing loss is accurately represented in mainstream media? For most of us — especially those of us who developed hearing loss later in life — our personal and professional networks live in the hearing world, and that is where we want to remain.
Of the 48 million Americans who have trouble hearing, only 2 million identify as Deaf (capital D), using sign language as their primary form of communication.
Yet, sign language is the lived experience that is most often portrayed on the large and small screen.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to see our experience — the living with hearing loss experience — displayed and explained to the world?
This documentary, created and produced by people with hearing loss, We Hear You tells the story of 4 women battling the stigmas and challenges of hearing loss. Click here.
