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.
