Sensory impairments refer to difficulties in one or more of the senses, such as sight, hearing, taste, smell, or touch. These impairments can affect how individuals interact with the world around them. For example, someone with a visual impairment may struggle to read or recognize faces, while a person with a hearing impairment might find it hard to follow conversations. These challenges can arise from various causes, including genetic conditions, injuries, or age-related changes. People with sensory impairments often use assistive devices, like hearing aids or glasses, to help them navigate daily life and improve their communication and independence.
