Is congenital loss of one ear a disability?
Congenital loss of an ear is not a disability.

According to the definition of the World Health Organization, disability refers to the long-term impairment of an individual's physical, intellectual or psychological functions, which leads to difficulties in daily activities. Congenital loss of an ear is classified as a special physical condition, not a disability. Although this situation may have some influence on hearing function, it will not seriously affect the individual's living ability or daily activities.
