17. Hard of Hearing (HoH) refers to someone who doesn't hear well. This
may be because they were born with a hearing loss or they may have
lost some or all of their hearing later in life. Many hard of hearing people
don't know that they have a hearing loss. Some simply deny it, even
though they may know that their hearing is diminished. Some people
who are completely deaf may consider themselves hard of hearing. In
all, nearly 10% of all people have some level of hearing loss.
