I wonder if being deaf or hard of hearing is considered a disability in this context?


To prove a permanent disability, one option is a statement by a licensed physician, which must include:

   - that the individual has a PERMANENT disability
   - that it limits one or more aspects of their daily life
   - and the nature of those limitations.
Unless there's something about the nature of the limitations deafness seems like it would apply. (The other acceptable forms of proof are federal or state government-issued documents.)


Absolutely yes


Any source for this?
