Hard of hearing

Deafness and hard-of-hearing

People with hearing loss can be divided into four categories: the early deaf, the sudden deaf, the late deaf, and the hard-of-hearing. Those with early deafness are generally born deaf or lose their hearing before the age of three. In contrast, people with sudden deafness abruptly lose their hearing within a short amount of time sometime after toddlerhood.
