Daily Dozen: Hard of Hearing in Industry
The hard of hearing can work in industry if they compensate with lip reading or hearing aids and special skill. In some jobs deafness is a real handicap where signals come from bells or mouth and orders. Many employers will place a hard of hearing person in suitable work if it does not reduce output or speed. Prospect for advancement improves with high skill. Battery sets make up about a quarter of radios, per the Department of Commerce.
