门诊经常碰到青年人听力不好很难接受使用助听器或佩戴人工耳蜗。他们的自我形容词我不愿意在网上发表。好多人一直寻求治愈的方案，而多年拒绝使用助听器。无容置疑，其结果就是影响了自己的发展，包括上更好的学校，找更好的工作，结识更好的朋友。因为听力障碍，无论是孩子还是成人，早一天干预，就会早一天康复。最简单的常识就是，1岁的孩子学习任何语言都会成功。而我们成人有时为了一个外语单词要背诵好几天。
我常常给人说，正常人的标准有三本书可以限定：《人体解剖学》、《生理学》和《心理学》教科书。我想，世界上很难找到一个人所有的解剖结构、生理参数和心理素质全部符合“正常人”的标准。我们总是有这样一点或那样一点问题。比如，有的个高，有的个子矮，有的怕压力，有的恐高，有的体育成绩很差，有的就怕学数学。等等。我们说领袖不是神，明星也有缺憾，就是如此。
因此，听力不好只是缺憾之一。其他人也有缺憾，只是我们不知道别人的疾病隐私而已。一定不能因此自我歧视。因此，一定要有阳光的心态面对世界。
除了突发性耳聋以外的感音神经性听力损失，目前全球尚无有效的治疗方案（尽管有几个实验室能够实现鸡胚或大鼠毛细胞再生，但距离临床应用尚很遥远）。但是耳蜗植入和助听器可以使绝大多数使用者正常生活。此时此刻，再花费精力、金钱寻求治愈方案是非常不利于自己的事业发展和生活和谐。
让我们一起共勉和努力！
Hearing-impaired People Are As Normal As Others
Zhang Hua,Xiao Yu，2011-07-2111:19
Some young people with hearing lossoften feel embarrassed to wear hearing aids or have cochlear implants.It isunderstandable.Some people sought for better treatment protocol for years andrefused to wear hearing aids.These no doubt affected their own futureincluding missing the chance of going to better schools,finding better jobsand meeting better friends.No matter for adults or children who have hearingdisorder,the earlier the treatments begin,the sooner they will recover.Takea common sense for example,one second may be enough for a child to rememberseveral words,but for adults,the same process may take several days or more.
I often say that three books can help usto define the standards of a NORMAL person:“Human Anatomy”,“Physiology”and“Psychology”.I believe that it is very difficult to find a person who can fitall standards of being a normal person physically,physiologically andmentally.We can always find problems in one way or another in ourselves suchas being too tall or short.Some of us are not good at dealing with pressurewhile others may have acrophobia.We may have magnificent grade in mathematicsbut poor in sports while some others may just do the opposite.That is thereason why we say leaders are not gods and stars may have problems.
Having a hearing disability is just oneof the many problems that regular people have in the world.People around usmay also have problems at where we can’t see.Therefore,we should deal witheverything that happens to us with positive attitude.
Except for sudden sensorineural hearingloss(SSNHL),most sensorineural hearing loss can NOT be cured worldwide.However,wearing hearing aids or having cochlear implants can help most usersenjoy normal life.For this moment,wasting time and money to search fortreatment protocol is unreasonable and not good for one’s own future and lifeharmony.
Lets’encourage each other to strive forbetter future!
