What is deafblindness?

Deafblindness is a unique and isolating disability. It results from the combination of hearing and vision loss or impairment. Some of the most common causes are Rubella, CHARGE syndrome, Usher syndrome and ageing. There are also different forms of deafblindness, which means people can experience it in different ways. Most people with deafblindness have some hearing or sight, or some hearing and sight.
