A sample of deafened adults in Ontario, Canada provided information about the general course of their adjustment to acquired hearing loss. Their use of counseling services was limited, and those who did use such services expressed dismay about the ignorance surrounding acquired deafness, particularly the assumption that the problems of deafened adults are identical to those of congenitally deaf adults. Four illustrative cases are presented.
加拿大安大略省的一组成年后天失聪者提供了他们适应后天听力损失的总体过程的相关信息。他们对咨询服务的使用有限,而那些使用过此类服务的人对围绕后天失聪的无知表示沮丧,尤其是认为后天失聪成年人的问题与先天性失聪成年人的问题相同的这种假设。文中呈现了四个说明性案例。
