ABSTRACT
Disability is a complex phenomenon, which needs to be studied and managed with a holistic perspective. Moreover, disability experienced by an individual due to a specific condition (e.g., hearing loss) may be diverse in its nature and impact. Such chronic conditions cannot be understood fully by measuring its intensity during clinical encounters and documenting the objective limitations that the condition imposes (DePoy and Gilson, 2011). Therefore, it is important to clarify why acquired hearing disability affects people in the manner that it does. However, this may require a multi-dimensional approach and a study of lived experiences could be important.
