People who begin to go deaf in adult life have different problems from those who are born deaf. They have to learn different ways of behaving and different ways of communicating—perhaps at a time when learning is not at all that easy. A learning aid is not a complete solution to the problem. The sound perceived by the deaf person through a hearing aid is distorted and appears to have more background noise that is heard by someone with normal hearing. Deafened people have to lip-read as well.
Lip-reading is difficult, demands intense concentration, and an uninterrupted direct view of the speaker’s face. No other activities can take place at the same time; the lip-reader has to stop eating, stop reading, stop washing up, stop mending, stop everything in order to concentrate on hearing. It is not a question of stupidity or had temper—as it sometimes appears to be—but a question of being very easy to misunderstand when the sound is distorted. Remember what it’s like trying to communicate on a very bad telephone line. Frustrating, isn’t it? The deaf have to face that all the time.
A useful way of looking at the problem is to see the deaf as a foreigner—to treat them as if you were in a foreign country. You would speak more clearly, slowly and raise your voice slightly. And you’d use gestures to make your meaning clear, as well as have no hesitation in using pencil and paper to be absolutely certain. You can do all those things with the deaf—as well as making sure you don’t obscure your mouth with your hand, a pipe or a cigarette.
Another point quite often overlooked is that a heating aid may be quiet efficient and useful in a quiet carpeted room—but try it in the high street in the rush hour, in a noisy car, in a railway station ticket office, a cinema or a concert hall and you’ve got a really difficult problem to distinguish speech. So don’t suggest to or encourage deaf people to go to functions(重大聚会) which are going to make their disability appear worse—and increase their sense of failure.
On the other hand careful selection of cinemas with good sound systems is important and you should experiment to find out where the best seats are for hearing, fitting adaptors for radio and television, observing which friends are easier to understand.
选项
A、have different attitudes towards life
B、can easily learn to use a hearing aid
C、have to try to adapt to new situations
D、find a hearing aid more annoying
答案
C
解析
细节题。根据题干中关键词go deaf in adult life定位到原文首段第二句They have to learn different ways of behaving and different ways of communicating—perhaps at a time when learning is not at all that easy,可见,与先天耳聋的人相比,后天耳聋者得极力适应新的情况。C中adapt to new situations是对原文相关句的概括。
