To what extent can hearing disability be regarded as disability?

If one ear can't hear, the average hearing loss is 50%, which can't meet the standard of hearing disability.

Hearing loss, residual hearing but unclear pronunciation, unable to communicate in listening and speaking, can reach the standard of hearing disability.

Hearing disability refers to the hearing loss of both ears to varying degrees due to various reasons, and the inability to hear or hear the surrounding environment and speech sounds (those who have not recovered after more than one year of treatment).
