– These are the common names of these medical conditions. 192.107.120.90 ( talk) 17:20, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
"I have a suggestion for Doc James. (Talk) I think that the designation Hearing Level (HL) that you removed after the abbreviation for dB is important because it modifies the unit since dB has multiple references." This was a suggestion by User:UIowagrad. Originally we did not know where to place it, and placed with a previous comment. Today I moved it here. I agree that making the unit more specific is a good idea. TMorata ( talk) 18:13, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: no consensus to move the page to the proposed title at this time, per the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 16:47, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
Hearing loss → Hearing impairment – The title only refers to total hearing loss. The new title covers total and partial hearing loss. Interstellarity ( talk) 14:41, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
I want this article semi-protected right away to prevent vandalism, or maybe changes pending protection. Bear420 ( talk) 15:18, 1 May 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bear420 ( talk • contribs) 15:17, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
This article is trying to cover multiple different topics within a single article. The real thorny problem arises in subsuming deafness within the concept of hearing loss, which is a profoundly ableist perspective on the subject. The current article focus is towards medical treatment and adaptation; again, that is not a respectful approach for an article that deafness and deaf person redirect to. To be explicit: deafness ≠ hearing loss.
I suggest we cover this topic not in one, but three separate articles:
The first will allow for a medically-centred article on issues that arise from hearing. The second will allow for an article that covers the event and process of loss of hearing ability in hearing individuals. The third will allow for an article that treats deafness from a social perspective. These are all very complex topics which cannot be effectively covered in one article.
Past discussions on this matter have been overridden (see move of article from deafness to hearing loss in 2014 here). The management of redirects has also not been great ( here and here). We will also require review of the incoming redirects to the most relevant article, I've made the below suggestions. Any thoughts? SFB 18:17, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
The article at Deafness is very short and mainly describes the term itself rather than the condition. It's even more or less a word-by-word copying from the "Social and cultural aspects" section, as if someone created that article as an explicit extension of this when a redirect would be better. I say we merge to here what content is not already covered here and redir the old article. Gaioa ( T C L) 09:31, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
