Is there any specific job or industries that the deaf can work in?

Despite their hearing loss, Deaf individuals (just like anyone of us) are able to take on any job, except those which require them to handle phone calls. Hence, there is no specific job or industry that the Deaf can work in. The Deaf & Hard-of-hearing individuals have been employed in a diverse range of jobs such as admin, creative (design, media etc), accounting, engineering, IT etc. They are able to take on any job based on their education level or work experience, except those which require them to handle phone call.

 

Some of these successful deaf individuals include:
*Deaf doctor – Mr Joseph Heng (featured in TODAY newspaper – 1 March 2017)
*Mr Teo Bee Chuan – Visual Merchandising Artiste (featured in Mediacorp Channel 8 “Frontlineā€ Programme)
*Dr Azariah Tan – Deaf pianist (featured in the Straits Times – 16 Oct 2016)
