Abstract
Hearing loss is a widespread yet frequently overlooked condition that functions as an invisible disability, profoundly affecting communication, emotional well-being, social participation, and spiritual engagement. This paper examines hearing impairment through biological, psychological, social, and theological lenses, with particular attention to its impact within church communities. Drawing on personal narrative, military and public health research, disability studies, and theological reflection, the paper highlights hearing loss as both a chronic health condition and a socially constructed barrier shaped by environmental accessibility and attitudinal awareness.
