Main Results:

  • Hearing loss presents a complex phenomenon with wide-ranging consequences.
  • Medical interventions often overlook communicative disabilities and psychosocial impacts.
  • Deafness significantly affects social relationships and self-esteem.

Conclusions:

  • Interventions should prioritize restoring communication.
  • Empowerment strategies must address both psychological and community aspects.
  • Removing communication barriers is crucial for individuals with hearing loss.
