I have a mild-to-moderate mid-range hearing loss, so I am very lucky
for I have a great deal of my own hearing left.
I got scammed however by an unscrupulous Hearing Aid Reseller and got
a great deal of support when I joined Hearing Loss Association of
America. http://www.hearingloss.org/. I don't know if they have any
international chapters, but they are an advocacy group for folks with
hearing loss with an active discussion and message boards on a variety
of topics.
I also have a close friend who is blind and is very computer literate.
She is the one who made me aware of how folks with disabilities
struggle to access the web. I began to learn and read then about
webstandards and accessibility and been building sites in that way for
about 8 years.
