Guest guest Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 The reason why I am asking about politically correct terms is because a small agency is in the process of creating titles for the directors, one for the blind and the other for the deaf, and they are seeking the terms for those with some vision or some hearing.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 When I am introducing myself to someone on a friendly basis then I use the term hearing impaired mostly because I like the way it sounds better than hard of hearing. Or maybe I just say I don't hear too well. I could care less how I say it actually. But when I am introducing myself to someone in a working relationship then I say that I have a hearing disability. That way people know not to mess with me in that area! **************Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Carol - since you are such an active advocate for the hearing impaired, I have a question. Years ago I was under the assumption that the term Hard of Hearing was no longer in vogue, but that it was better to use Hearing Impaired to described people such as myself. Did I dream that up, or has it gone back to " Hard of Hearing " ? I actually prefer the term " Hearing Impaired " myself, but maybe there is a good reason why people do not use it. I'd be interested in learning more about this, if you have the answers. Thanks. Hogwash Hi : Back in the mid nineties I was appointed to a Governor's advisory council to the agency that serves the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in Wisconsin. At that time the office was called Office for the Hearing Impaired. Then the Deaf community as well as the hard of hearing groups wanted a change, so we changed our name to Office for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. I cannot tell you how many meetings it took to get that done. Both perspectives had their own take on how the name should read. The words " THE Deaf " was one bone of contention, and Hard of Hearing reps wanted the name to read Hard of Hearing PEOPLE. In the end " The deaf " stayed and People got dropped. Carol in WI 4b.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I think it's back to HoH or Deaf. Impaired sounds like a physical or mental disability but most deaf or HoH are perfectly fine mentally or physically if no other disability. I know a lot of people protest using the term Hearing Impaired. Growing up I didn't use the word deaf because I could hear and speak well. I would say I am deaf and I read lips. Since my increased hearing loss I am DEAF and don't hear at all! There is a difference.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 , I too like hearing impaired rather than hard of hearing which always seemed to have the implication of being old. When I was very young, older people always seemed to become hard of hearing. Therefore I never wanted to be called hard of hearing because that is like saying I am old. And having someone else say I was old would get them on my _ _ _ _ list. LOL I even refer to myself as deaf now (which was once difficult to admit). Happy Hearing!

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Why would you think this ? Hearing impaired means that one's hearing is not perfect. If a person can't hear, then obviously their hearing is not perfect. That doesn't mean they are less of a person than anyone else..... it just means that they can not hear as well as others can.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I just say I have a hearing loss. If that doesn't fit, then I say hard of hearing.Yes, that was the old way from my younger days. And now it has returned. Times change. We just amended our Hearing Loss Association of Florida bylaws by removing all the " hearing impaired " phrases. We use mostly " people with hearing loss " or hard of hearing. However, I won't challenge you if you say hearing impaired. To each his ownI say, and I will go with the flow. That said, I do not ever, and have not ever referred to myself as deaf. Good subject. I'm happy to see all the posts.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hi Carol, guess you don't like being referred to as a HOH!! Someone somewhere is spending a LOT of time trying to think of what is " politically correct " . Reminds me of the Indians. All the Indians I know, and there are quite a few of various tribal origins, refer to themselves as Indians. They do not call themselves Native Americans. Some white person decided " native Americans " was more politically correct. But to be perfectly honest about it, ANYONE born in North or South, or even Central America is a Native of American, and thus a " native American " Indian refers to the tribal groups, like the Lakota, Dineh, Seminole, etc. I figure whatever a group calls themselves is what they like to be called. Some people like to be called African Americans, some like Black, some like " persons of color " . Whatever you want to be called, I'll call you. You can call me anything, but don't call me late to dinner! , I too like hearing impaired rather than hard of hearing which always seemed to have the implication of being old ____________________________________________________________ Beauty Product Reviews Read Unbiased Beauty Product Reviews and Join Our Product Review Team! http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2141/fc/JKFkuJi7UvsI07YvLqj2PSiOZNow7kQtiWEO\ YIXjTZMsvF4VMg2bAX/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm deaf, hearing impaired, hard of hearing and whatever else you want to call it. The fact is my ears do not function correctly. Period. I've worn hearing aids since I was 4.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Thanks , I just felt like the thread was getting beaten down, and that some opinions were being presented as factual. And while some might be factual, I'm like you, I'm so tired of the P.C. thing it just makes me scream. I'm tired of people telling me what I should call myself in regards to my hearing and my ethnic background. I, too say Merry Christmas and if someone is offended, I just don't care. But don't ever try to tell me what I should and should call myself. Webster's definition of deaf is 1 : lacking or deficient in the sense of hearing . So if someone in the Deaf community is offended, oh well, they DO NOT own the word. I'm not trying to be insensitive to anyone, I love all people regardless. Nina Re: Hogwash > Nina, > Dont leave.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hey Nina, Don't leave. I would suggest that if a thread seems to get under your skin, just stop reviewing that particular thread. I have done that in some cases because sometimes, it's just not worth my precious time toward reading some of it. Just my two cents. : -) I'm sure you have a lot of good advice or valuable information you can share with others when the need arises. Take care!
