Document Summary
He is using hearing aids to overcome the auditory limitation. He has to change and adapt in order to get into the nfl. People have been telling me all my life what i can"t do, but i"ve been deaf since i was 3 so naturally, i never listened. Eventually believes that hearing is not the most important part of being an nfl football player. He uses visual information as opposed to auditory information to know when the play starts. An obvious barrier can be overcome with alternatives that don"t fundamentally change the game. Across all impairment categories, it is rarely the case that people are born with disabilities. It is more common to acquire a disability. Women have a higher percentage of acquiring deafness at an older age when compared to men, primarily because women live longer. Men typically work in more jobs w/ loud noises, which causes gender division within instances of the impairment.
