#HearingPrivilege
There is a hashtag going around social media raising awareness for deaf people. People don’t think about deaf people when they go to a movie or a concert, they don’t think about how they can’t enjoy the simple things in life. There are many privileges that hearing people don’t realize they have because the public isn’t educated about deaf or hard of hearing people.
Hearing privilege is when a deaf person has to wait months for a movie to have screencaps when everyone else got to watch the movie when it came out. I think that my biggest hearing privilege is being able to go to any movie/concert/event I want without thinking about whether or not I will be able to interpret what’s happening. Deaf people can’t go to concerts
