Deaf Ability not Disability
Dr. Shilu Srinivas, ENT Consultant at Kauvery Hospital, Electronic City, Bangalore, raises awareness about deafness as a silent disability. She stresses the importance of newborn hearing screening and early assessment in children showing delayed speech. While many benefit from hearing aids, those with severe sensorineural hearing loss can be treated with cochlear implants, which have transformed lives over the past decades. She emphasizes inclusion, helping deaf individuals hear, speak, and live confidently in society.
