What are some career options for someone who’s losing their hearing?
I think the best career option will always be doing something you enjoy, something you’re passionate about. Yes, there are a few jobs much harder to do with a hearing disability, but there are many jobs in which you can do just fine. Whether in business, healthcare, science, arts, or any other field of interest, you may need some training. You still need to keep an eye on what job opportunities are available in your region.
You can get a better sense of both by contacting your region’s disability employment service provider. These organizations specialize in helping people with disabilities find work. You can visit https://www.atworkaustralia.com.au/disability-employment-services/. Talking to a local DES provider can give you a better sense of where you can get training and where you can find work. And, of course, you’ll have even more options available if you are willing to relocate to pursue opportunities.
