   Hearing loss (deafness) may be present at birth or it may manifest later in life. deafness may be genetic or due to damage from noise.  
   http://www.medicinenet.com/deafness/article.htm
   
   Extractions: Hearing loss, or deafness, can be present at birth (congenital), or become evident later in life (acquired). The distinction between acquired and congenital deafness specifies only the time that the deafness appears. It does not specify whether the cause of the deafness is genetic (inherited). Acquired deafness may or may not be genetic. For example, it may be a manifestation of a delayed-onset form of genetic deafness. Alternatively, acquired deafness may be due to damage to the ear from noise. Congenital deafness similarly may or may not be genetic. For example, it may be associated with a white forelock, and be caused by a genetic disease called Waardenburg syndrome . In fact, more than half of congenital hearing loss is inherited. Alternatively, congenital deafness may be due to a condition or infection to which the mother was exposed during

   Extractions: Deaf people don't worry about missing the doorbell: flashing lights, rather than chimes, alert them to visitors. Similarly, smoke detectors, phones and alarm clocks can all be converted to feature deaf-friendly flashing lights or very loud alarms, and even vibrating mechanisms that shake the bed or buzz in the occupant's pocket. Entire systems can be designed that combine all these alerts into a small, portable vibrating beeper. While there are a variety of technologies available to assist with alerts and alarms, deaf people can also employ the services of a hearing dog. Any breed of dog can become a hearing dog; training is similar to that for Seeing Eye dogs. The dogs alert their masters with a nudge when phones ring or smoke detectors sound, or by nudge and lead them to the source of the sound. Since the dog, unlike a machine, can distinguish threatening sounds, the hearing dog is a good all-purpose alert.

Deafness is profound hearing loss. More than 28 million people in the United States are deaf or have hearing loss. Older people are the most affected: 30 to 40% of people aged 65 and older have significant hearing loss. Children also develop hearing loss (see Ear, Nose, and Throat Disorders: Hearing Deficits ), which can be detrimental to language and social development. Every year, about 1 of 5,000 people develops sudden deafness. Sudden deafness is severe hearing loss, usually in only one ear, that develops over a period of a few hours or less. Many people with hearing loss also develop ringing in the ears (tinnitus). Sometimes people notice the ringing sound before they fully recognize their hearing loss.

   While the term hearing impairment is often used generically to describe a wide range of hearing losses, including deafness, the regulations for IDEA  
   http://www.nichcy.org/pubs/factshe/fs3txt.htm
   
   Extractions: PDF version The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), formerly the Education of the Handicapped Act (P.L. 94-142), includes "hearing impairment" and "deafness" as two of the categories under which children with disabilities may be eligible for special education and related services programming. While the term "hearing impairment" is often used generically to describe a wide range of hearing losses, including deafness, the regulations for IDEA define hearing loss and deafness separately. Hearing impairment is defined by IDEA as "an impairment in hearing, whether permanent or fluctuating, that adversely affects a child's educational performance." Deafness is defined as "a hearing impairment that is so severe that the child is impaired in processing linguistic information through hearing, with or without amplification."

    Extractions: The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission July 26, 2006 The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities. Title I of the ADA covers employment by private employers with 15 or more employees and state and local government employers of the same size. Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act provides the same protections for federal employees and applicants for federal employment. Most states also have their own laws prohibiting employment discrimination on the basis of disability. Some of these state laws may apply to smaller employers and provide protections in addition to those available under the ADA. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces the employment provisions of the ADA. This document is part of a question-and-answer series addressing particular disabilities in the workplace. It explains how the ADA might apply to job applicants and employees with hearing impairments, including: when a hearing impairment is a disability under the ADA;
