  • Abstract:
  • India is no stranger to diversity, and we Indians don't need any lectures on it because we've been dealing with it happily for a long time. The variety that is provided by abilities and disabilities is not well cared for. The common perception of impairment as a curse or a ‘fork in the track’ is widespread. Hearing impairment is one of the disabilities that has a particular situation that can render the inclusion phase more complex and time consuming. A large number of these individuals (roughly 285 million) are visually disabled, with 39 million blind and 246 million having poor vision. 90% of people with vision disorder reside in developed nations, according to estimates. Hearing loss affects a further 360 million individuals. Visually and hearing-impaired people experience a variety of difficulties in community, including educational, housing, and general well-being issues. It is now possible to detect hearing loss (HL) at birth and provide early care for children with moderate HL thanks to the introduction of mandatory newborn hearing screening (NHS) services. Hearing loss has an effect on mental and behavioral well-being, social engagement, day-to-day life satisfaction, and job status. The benefits of assistive hearing aids for hearing-impaired students in India are discussed in this report.
