ITS DEAF AWARENESS WEEK
Everybody take a second to look at the #HearingPrivilege So many Deaf people around the world struggle every day for what (me) and many other hearing people take for granted! Let them be heard they deserve just as much attention and respect every day, not just this week. WE ARE ALL PEOPLE LETS START ACTING LIKE IT.
Do it for equality.
If you haven't checked out the #HearingPrivilege stream on Twitter, you should do it now. Share your stories. And for those who carry the hearing privilege - open your mind, and learn. We can all make the world a kinder place by being aware of others' stories, and learning from them.
#hearingprivilege If I'm at work and my boss needs to tell me to do something, they can shout it to me. I don't need... Another person to tap me on the shoulder and say the boss is talking to me. The communication is easy The hearing privilege hashtag was created by Professor Joseph Hill from #rit #ntid and is meant to get hearing people thinking about the ways in which society is more catered towards us.

#HearingPrivilege
There is a hashtag happening on Twitter/Facebook #HearingPrivilege where individuals post things that hearing people have that Deaf/HOH quite don’t.
I posted a few of my own on Twitter, but I suggest checking out the tag!
[Image Description: Twitter post Abby - @Deaflepuff, text reads: Need to go to the doctor?Access right there. Deaf? We need to fight for our rights to even (MAYBE) get an interpreter #Hearingprivilege]
[Image Description: Twitter post: Abby - @Deaflepuff, text says: We Deaf want to see that theatre performance? That’s once a year - MAYBE with Sign Language Interpreters. #hearingprivilege]
[Image Description: Twitter post: Abby - @Deaflepuff, text says: #HearingPrivilege - Having access to all media/content in case of a dangerous situation arises. Us Deaf, find out last minute or later.]
These are just a few posts regarding what we Deaf / HOH fight for everyday.
hey sorry to bother you but I was wondering about hearing privilege? I'm not d/Deaf/hoh but I have auditory pd which mostly means I can't filter out backround noises and have difficulties recognizing and interpreting sounds so I use special hearing devices (not regular hearing aids) to be able to participate both academically and socially in my everyday life. But as I said I am not d/Deaf/hoh so does that mean I have hearing privilege? sorry for taking up your time I hope you have a good day!
Not a problem! Well, for starters, hearing privilege isn’t black & white. Some people have more than others - for instance, my parents decided to implant me with a CI when I was little. Because of that, I would have more hearing privilege than someone who is profoundly deaf, and uses no assistive hearing devices. However, a normal hearing person has significantly more privilege than I do.
So yes, you do have a degree of hearing privilege, many d/Deaf/HOH or persons with conditions that affect their hearing do. However, when compared to a hearing person, many of us are on the same level (or quite close) regarding privilege, solely due to the fact that audism is prevalent in society, and many hearing people dismiss a d/Deaf/HOH person’s needs.
You could consider yourself HOH if you wanted to - I’ve met numerous people with auditory pd who identify as HOH, but if you choose to do so, it is important that you clarify you have auditory pd.
Thanks for the question!

Abled privilege is...never being left out of a conversation because someone forgot or doesn't feel like signing.

Abled privilege is...being able to navigate the dating pool without worrying about what communication is going to look like.
