A Johns Hopkins professor discussing drug treatments<\/a> for hearing impairment was quoted in an article in 2019 suggesting that the potential to treat underlying causes \u2014 not just symptoms \u2014 is \u201cphenomenal.\u201d <\/p>\n That\u2019s promising to hear, but until then, hearing loss can still limit professional opportunities to some extent. What\u2019s more helpful than focusing on those limitations, however, is considering which jobs work well<\/em> for people who struggle significantly with their hearing. <\/p>\n And the good news is that there are several quality, rewarding jobs for people with hearing loss that come to mind.<\/p>\n Contents<\/p> Teaching is a broad category, but what we\u2019re referring to primarily here is the opportunity that hearing-impaired individuals have to teach children with similar special needs. <\/p>\n Kids in this situation can struggle to relate to other students or teachers, who often don’t have the necessary teaching or training experience. If you know what it\u2019s like to be unable to hear or confidently express verbal communication, however, you may be in a unique position to help children. <\/p>\n Through both general teaching and instruction specific to hearing impairment (such as working on sign language), you can make a big difference and establish a fine career in the process. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Web design has been an appealing profession for many for a long time now, and it\u2019s not difficult to see why. For one thing, there is always demand. As a Lifewire write-up on web design<\/a> put it, every organization \u201cfrom large corporations to small non-profits\u201d needs a website (and possibly an app as well). <\/p>\n Additionally, the same write-up noted that the high-end salary for a web designer, as of 2018, was about $125k. Constant demand, good pay, and the chance to work creatively will certainly appeal to a lot of people. <\/p>\n It\u2019s a particularly accessible job for the hearing impaired as well, because most of the communication involved tends to be digital.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One perk that web design and accounting actually share is that people aspiring to have careers in these areas can do much of the work online. Internet courses are widely available in both disciplines, and are of course quite accessible to those who struggle with hearing. <\/p>\n Also similar is the demand in both fields. Numbers quoted in a Maryville University rundown of the online bachelors in accounting<\/a> suggest a median salary of about $72k (similar to the median for web design), with significant growth projected in the coming years. Thus, we have another accessible, in-demand, well-paying job that hearing-impaired individuals can perform with relatively little difficulty.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nTeacher<\/span><\/h2>\n
