Deaf children are no different than hearing children. Very few people understand the fact that the deaf can do everything and anything that hearing people can, except hear. Many often mistake the deaf people as being mentally disabled or incapable of doing the same tasks that hearing people can do. The sad truth is that in Pakistan, like many other countries, deaf children are not exposed to the same learning environments or given the same opportunities as the hearing children are. There are many children who are not completely deaf but are only slightly hard of hearing and all they may need is a hearing aid to live like any other child. There are also treatments such as the cochlear transplants that help children lose their disability of not being able to hear well. However, majority of the families with a deaf child in Pakistan cannot afford such treatments. What may seem like a simple $100 hearing aid for anyone living in the U.S, that very same hearing aid is something the families can only dream of getting. It’s hard to digest the fact that the cost of a hearing aid ranges from $100 to $300 only yet these families are unable to afford them due to the extreme poverty they are living in.
