As of recent estimates, approximately 466 million people worldwide are affected by disabling hearing loss, with a significant number also experiencing vision impairment or blindness. The World Health Organization has reported that about 2.2 billion people have near or distance vision impairment, and among these, there is a subset of individuals who are both blind and deaf. However, specific global numbers for those who are both blind and deaf are less clearly defined, making it challenging to provide a precise figure. Overall, these conditions highlight the importance of accessibility and support for affected individuals.

Who founded American athletic association for the deaf?

Source verbatim: A Journey into the Deaf World, Lane, Hoffmeister, Bahan, pg 131 On April 13, 1945, representatives of several Deaf clubs met at the Akron Club of the Deaf and founded the AAAD. Why Akron? During world wars, Deaf men and women were not permitted to serve in the military, they joined the industries' workforce instead. The great rubber companies based in Akron hired large numbers of Deaf workers and, with a critical mass of Deaf people, local Deaf culture flourished. Again, this information is taken directly from A Journey into the Deaf World. SB
