今天我询问了听力残疾学生考雅思的事情。我之前一直以为，雅思考试是不能免除听力的，今天小伙伴发给我官网信息后，我看到他们的第四条内容：
4. Exemptions and endorsed certificates
If you have severe hearing and/or speaking difficulties, and the special arrangements listed above are not sufficient (for example, if you cannot lip-read), you can ask for exemption from taking the Listening test and/or the Speaking test. This means you do not have to take the test(s).
You must apply for exemption before taking your test. Ask your centre for further information.
For IELTS, you can ask for exemption from one or two components. You will be given a score for the missing component(s) based on your performance on the other components of the test. This score will be used to calculate your Overall IELTS Band Score.
Your Test Report Form will have the following statement printed on it:
‘Due to extreme speaking/hearing (etc.) difficulties, this candidate was exempt from the Speaking/Listening (etc.) test(s). The Speaking/Listening (etc.) test Band Score(s) has/have been notionalised on the basis of the average of the other two/three Band Scores.’
也就是说，听力残疾考生，特别是重度残疾的考生是可以申请免除听力和口语考试的。后来雅思考试教育中心发给我的邮件里也罗列了我需要提交的材料，需要中英文。
我的情况就比较折腾，以往我根本不用担心这个，只要提出助听器申请就可以了，虽然这个申请过程很繁琐。但是这几年下来，我的听力就是“薛定谔的听力”，我不知道什么时候就听不见了，也不能保证我考试的时候还能听见。基于这个薛定谔的情况，我很痛苦。好多次，我都是踌躇满志，准备好了，结果第二天头晕耳聋，给我浇了一盆凉水，透心凉。
发生了多次以后，我心里是很崩溃的，不敢读书，不敢考试，甚至都不敢工作。我心里是有梦想的，很想去实现它。不奢求听力能够恢复到和正常人一样，只请求保持住听力状态，不头晕不耳聋，就很满足了。为什么这一点就那么难呢？
