I am 24 years old and do wear hearing aids, but I still have hearing loss. Could that be a reason not to attend? On the notice it says that for a disability that a physician has to fill it out. I live in California if that helps, thanks.

Is a hearing loss considered a disability? ?

I have about a 25-35% hearing loss. I was wondering if this could be considered a disability or if one has to be completely deaf. I am thinking about it in regards to employment (helping meet that quota) or in owning a business.

Before any of you compare diminished sight to hearing loss, they are not the same. People do not bring items closer to you when you wear glasses like they yell when they see you wearing hearing aids.
