Dual Sensory Loss
Dual Sensory Loss refers to the simultaneous impairment of two senses, commonly hearing and vision. This condition can significantly impact an individual's ability to communicate, navigate their environment, and engage in daily activities. It often occurs in older adults but can also affect younger individuals due to various medical conditions or injuries.
People with Dual Sensory Loss may face challenges in social interactions and may require specialized support and resources. Rehabilitation programs and assistive technologies, such as hearing aids and screen readers, can help improve their quality of life and enhance their independence.
