Q: I have a disability not listed on the website. Are there other sensory loss Social Security benefits?

A: There are many different types of sensory loss Social Security disabilities. While blindness and hearing loss are the most common, the Social Security Administration recognizes that a loss or impairment of any sense can affect a person’s ability to work.
