Your hearing has to be so severe that hearing aids do not improve it. The economy at present is horrid. Everyone has difficulty finding work. Disability does make it harder. But being disabled does not mean you automatically qualify you for benefits.

(I'd give you a link, but each state is different.) A VocRehab counselor can help you get your hearing tested, document what kind of support you might need in a job, help you get equipment to help you hear better, and help you with your job search. If finding a job is really out of the question, they can also help you find sources of support. Don't give up yet! Contact your state’s department for Vocational Rehabilitation.

So yeah, I'm hearing impaired and I'm on the disability register, so when I move classes, I always have to be seated at the front. If your worried, see the audiologist for tests and evaluation.
