[QUOTE="dinoorchestra, post: 142847, member: 27799"] Hey! I have been 100% deaf from birth, hearing with two cochlea implants instead of my ears, and maybe I am able to give you some guidance here. I hope this helps! For your future studies: I agree that your university should take your hearing impairment into consideration and its good that you are already in touch with them: make sure you ask them to provide you with support that will help you mitigate your disability in the future. For me it is subtitling on online content and using my special microfone in class, as that is all I need to pursue my studies effectively, but there is also notetakers provided by the university for example - research a little bit and figure out what will allow you to continue your studies without any mitigation and request that support to be provided to you! I also suggest thinking about whether you'd benefit from additional time in exams. For your current grades and applications: I think you should definitely mention that you werent able to hear properly when applying. It is always good to provide context to a performance that might have been much better otherwise and just because your other modules were better, that does not mean that you have not been impacted by that change in your circumstances at all! I think it rather shows that despite all you worked very diligently and still achieved very good results across all your other modules because you do care about what you are doing (I am saying that from my experience). Let me know if I can answer any more questions for you! [/QUOTE]
