Vision in the hearing-impaired: Enhanced or deprived? Neuro Open J. 2019; 6(1): 6-9. doi: 10.17140/NOJ-6-130 ABSTRACT By definition, the hearing-impaired lack one functioning sensory channel that transmits information to the brain. What effect does this have on the perceptual systems of the brain is the subject of the review. There are currently two hypotheses on this matter: The perceptual deficit hypothesis that states that lack of a functioning sensory input affects the development and matu - ration of other sensory channels and results in the impaired functioning of our senses. The second is the perceptual compensa- tion hypothesis which states that when one sensory system is affected, the processing resources within TI - Vision in the Hearing-Impaired: Enhanced or Deprived?
