Why is the International Symbol for hearing impairment and deafness not
a household name in SA?
![Page 8: My name is Fanie du Toit It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you a wonderful project called: “Hearing Loss in Perspective ”](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697c0211a28abf838cd2e82/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The harsh reality is that 15% of the world’s adult population has
some degree of hearing loss
![Page 9: My name is Fanie du Toit It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you a wonderful project called: “Hearing Loss in Perspective ”](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697c0211a28abf838cd2e82/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
About one third of those who are affected, have disabling hearing
loss

What is the PROFILE of persons with sensory impairments, being deaf or hearing impaired, really?
![Page 13: My name is Fanie du Toit It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you a wonderful project called: “Hearing Loss in Perspective ”](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697c0211a28abf838cd2e82/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
LETS HAVE A LOOK AT WHY HEARING LOSS IS CONSIDERED A DISABILITY

Do you know the difference between
visual and hearing impairment?
Both are sensory impairments
![Page 15: My name is Fanie du Toit It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you a wonderful project called: “Hearing Loss in Perspective ”](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697c0211a28abf838cd2e82/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
This is an example of
visual impairment
![Page 16: My name is Fanie du Toit It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you a wonderful project called: “Hearing Loss in Perspective ”](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697c0211a28abf838cd2e82/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Can you see the difference?
![Page 22: My name is Fanie du Toit It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you a wonderful project called: “Hearing Loss in Perspective ”](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697c0211a28abf838cd2e82/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The harsh reality is that persons with hearing loss wait an average of 7 years before seeking help
Hopefully this programme will give some answers to this challenge
