I've been a developer for about fifteen years, and for the past four I've been dealing with progressive bilateral hearing loss related to an autoimmune condition. It's been a struggle to adapt, and one of my big fears is if I have to move between companies whether I'll be able to get past the easy discrimination that can happen in the hiring process. My current company has guidelines for assisting impaired employees, but it's easy to get weeded out in an interview just because the interviewer doesn't like you.
