Übungen bei Hörbehinderung — visuelle + taktile Hinweise, vestibulär-bewusst, Deaf-affirmierend

WHO 2024 data: approximately 430 million people globally have disabling hearing loss. Lin 2011 + subsequent research established a link between hearing loss and elevated fall risk — vestibular adjacency, reduced spatial awareness, and increased cognitive load all contribute. The exercise priorities are therefore: balance + gait training to address vestibular-adjacent fall risk, posterior chain + hip work to protect during fall events, posture against chronic neck strain (looking down for visual cues), and breath/parasympathetic regulation. Visual + tactile + captioned cuing replace auditory demonstrations. Cochlear implant and hearing aid users have specific water + impact considerations (cochlear implant typically removed before contact sports + water immersion per audiology). Crucially: Deaf community cultural framing (NAD = National Association of the Deaf) vs. medical 'hearing loss' framing matters — patient self-identification respects identity. ASL fitness instructors increasingly available; captioned video content is now standard expectation. NAD + HLAA (Hearing Loss Association of America) are real infrastructure.

Volya's catalogue carries the foundation moves describable through visual + tactile cuing: supported-glute-bridge for posterior chain (clear visual setup), wall-push-up for upper-body strength (wall as tactile reference), scapular-retraction for posture, cat-cow for spinal mobility (tactile + visual flow), supine-knee-to-chest for low-back release, calf-raise-rehab for posterior-chain + ankle balance (visual mirror reference helpful), ankle-pump for circulation, diaphragmatic-breathing for parasympathetic regulation, standing-march for cardio. The AI coach also knows the nutrition side — Mediterranean / DASH pattern for cardiovascular protection (vascular health linked to age-related hearing loss progression), vitamin B12 + folate monitoring (some link to age-related hearing loss progression), omega-3 1-2 g/day shows possible hearing loss benefit (Gopinath 2010), ototoxic medications discussion with provider (high-dose NSAIDs, certain antibiotics aminoglycosides), tinnitus comorbidity (avoid individual triggers — caffeine + alcohol in some), vestibular nutrition support if vestibular component (hydration + sodium adequacy supports inner ear), Deaf community cultural framing (captioned content + ASL fitness instructors increase access), adaptive kitchen (visual + tactile timers + smoke/CO detectors with visual + vibrating alerts), protein 1.2-1.4 g/kg/day + calcium + vitamin D for fall + bone resilience. CRITICAL: audiology + ENT + vestibular PT if vestibular symptoms + NAD + HLAA + 988. This is NEVER a replacement for audiology + ENT care.
