Very intriguing question here! In all the years I worked, there was never a form that asked if I had to use any kind of device for a disibility. As others mention, no one asks about vision requirements for a job ā¦ but hearing is a nuanced thing! There is NO correction as in the vision world. It is strictly EAR + BRAIN.
So I think there is merit in mentioning oneās hearing as it would likely be a factor in good communication no matter what the position?
After I was fit with my first pair of Starkey aids back in the '80s, I told HR that I needed a phone that was compatible with them cuz of the feedback. I totally forget what the solution was, but the HR gal was incredibly understanding and got me the phone I needed so I could do as good a job as possible.
I totally get that personal health issues are largely a PRIVATE matter, but when it comes to impact on job, communication and performance, itās probably time to just be up-front! Hope it all works out for ya!
