hearing-impaired
Hearing-impaired is a term used to describe having less than normal functionality in one’s ability to hear. This impairment can range from mild to profound, and can affect one or both ears. Hearing-impaired people may be hard of hearing, where they have some level of hearing loss but can still process some sounds, or they may be deaf, experiencing a complete loss of hearing. It is important to note, however, that many in Deaf culture prefer the terms "deaf" or "hard of hearing" and find the term "hearing impaired" to be pathologizing or negative.
