Abstract
Hard of hearing is a term used to describe individuals who have a mild to moderate loss
of hearing, have adequate residual hearing, and a hearing aid may assist their speech, their
communication can be by sign language, verbal language or both of them. Hard of hearing
people cannot be said to be deaf as deaf people have a complete loss of hearing, and they may

perspectives on the rights of hard of hearing people in the past and in the present. It also
