The sign for "physical hearing" is not the same as the concept as being

These individuals are indeed losing their hearing and thus seeking to enter
the Deaf world and one of the first things they need to know how to sign is

HEARING-(physical)
"I'm losing my hearing." = "EAR/HEARING" + DETERIORATE-(sink)
