Etymology
The word 'deafened' originates from the Old English word 'deaf', which means 'deaf' or 'unable to hear'. It has roots in Proto-Germanic *daรบfrฤ, which is related to similar words in other Germanic languages. The suffix '-ened' is a past participle form indicating a change of state. Therefore, 'deafened' conveys that a person has undergone a process resulting in hearing loss. Historically, the concept of deafness has been associated with various cultural beliefs and stigmas, and the advent of technology and medical advancements has shifted perceptions and provided solutions for many who are deaf or hard of hearing.
