Hearing loss - which activities might you have to consider stopping?

[Pink_Rosa]

HI

I have started a new course called Deaf Awareness Level 2 (childcare course) , i have nearly finished my first assignment and i need a little help

You have become deafened overnight. You can hear isolated sounds, but nothing you can make sense of. Which activities will you find more difficult (but can still do)? Which activities might you have to consider stopping (because , for example, they are too difficult or dangerous)?

I have finished the list for activities that i would find more difficult but can do it

But i am really struggling with the activities i have to consider stopping, can someone help me please

Thank You

Hi a warm welcome to the site, great to read there aren't any activities you can think of stopping :) there is information about surrendering a driving licence based on Doctor's advice on the gov website deafness and driving

Other than that I would imagine singing professionally or a career dealing directly with music/sound engineering would be challenging, fortunately these musicians stand as role models https://www.google.co.uk/search?safe...k1.pWAQtTAdBgw

You don't need to give up on being a Jedi, a ninja unless competing in Australia or an ornithologist

All this makes the discrimination against hearing loss even more dispiriting http://www.onrec.com/news/statistics...discrimination

Let us know if you find anything else x

Very best wishes with the course
