Jobs for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing

Employment is an important factor in everyone’s life. Every citizen willing to work should have a job. A good satisfactory job at the right age. It makes the person independent. And results in a happy and satisfying family life. Dependence on others for a living lowers the self-esteem of the person. The deaf or the hard of hearing are no different. They have an equal right to employment suiting their ability.

This statement by Dr King Jordan sums up everything.

“Deaf People Can Do Anything Hearing People Can – Except Hear”

Careers in the field vary as per the age, educational qualifications and skills. Hospitals, Hotels and Restaurants accept disable people as permanent employees. Computers and other soft skills are perfectly suited for jobs for the deaf. People with technical skills can work as factory workers.
