Here are some more inclusive alternatives and how to use them in sentences:
Instead of "hearing impaired," consider:
* Deaf: For people with profound hearing loss.
* Hard of hearing: For people with partial hearing loss.
* Deaf and hard of hearing (D/deaf): An inclusive term encompassing both.
Examples:
* "The school provides interpreters for students who are deaf."
* "My friend is hard of hearing and uses a hearing aid."
* "The conference included accessibility features for D/deaf attendees."
Remember, using respectful language is crucial in creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone.
