I have lived with this problem the past 30 years and as recently as last week. I told a co-worker "I have a Hearing Problem" She proceeded to raise her voice an say "oh You're Deaf" This is a Stigma I constantly go through thus I chose to tell people unless I absolutely have to! The World Needs More Education and Understanding of people who are Hard Of Hearing.

Disabled people still receive second class treatment in all walks of life and all treatment. Just because I cannot walk well does not make me unable to work or to think! I have to fight for treatment on the NHS and against the very people who are supposed to uphold my rights.

It is important to have persons with disabilities from the disabiilty rights community be part of such a committee.

It is so discouraging to have doctors tell us that we need to find someone who deals "with your type of people"!
