The importance of recognizing deafness is emphasized on this golden U. S. stamp. It is particularly vital since defective hearing is the most common form of disability in the United States, affecting about 14 million Americans. There are two major types of hearing disorders. Conductive disorders result from interference with the transmission of sound through the ear. Sensorineural problems, on the other hand, involve a defect in the nerve leading from the inner ear to the brain. Recognizing the disability is the first step in breaking down the barrier between the hearing and non-hearing worlds.

This stamp was first issued by The Postal Commemorative Society on July 30, 1993. The stamp was designed by Chris Callie of Ridgefield, Connecticut.

You will receive an envelope that includes the gold stamp along with a canceled postage stamp. It addition, you will receive an information card with facts as to why this Commencement stamp was created.
