“Between Hearing and Not Hearing” – Father of Miss Li Ching who had severe hearing impairment, and Miss Mandy Tang, one of the 20 Young Advocates selected to promote disability awareness and social inclusion for 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games, share their stories of overcoming hearing impairment and attitudinal barriers. Li Ching — a young woman with hearing impairment, lost her life by committing suicide on 1 March 2008. The tragedy aroused public awareness of the problems faced by persons with hearing impairment. Besides producing this video, the Equal Opportunities Commission had posted two articles on its webpage named “Brief Reflections”. These articles aim at facilitating reflections among the general public on this incident and related issues. For details, please visit: www.eoc.org.hk

If millions of dollars were spent on a cure for hearing loss, and deafness, then millions of dollars would not be spent on creating worthless and expensive hearing aids that can harm the environment with its batteries and then the audiologists and /hearing aid suppliers can just go out of business. Permanently,
wow,how sad. I live in US and most people don’t really mind my hearing aids. I got my first pair on my 3rd B-Day.
thank so much!
@Steipp Thank You:)
@gameboy699 You probably were not exposed to it for too long, excess sound pressure takes time to permanently impact your ear’s hearing ability, it depends on the intensity of the sound pressure
my hearing loss was caused by the drug amikacin ..is this permanent? it has been two years now ..my hearing aid allows me to hear loud noises. it’s difficult to communicate with people even with my hearing aid
hello i heard a big noise and everything turned lower like 10dB but ok now. hvat happend? (i hear fine now) everything turned back to normal after 1,5sec. i did not get tinnitus!
Nice video, I have also found a hearing loss could be treated with caloric restriction.
