Apologies in advance if this is in the wrong sub-forum.
Basically, I've had an interest in psychology for as long as I remember - I remember reading my older siblings' psychology textbooks from college when I was younger because it was interesting to me. Ordinarily, I would have then chosen to study the subject at college and pursue a respective degree.
However, I dismissed the idea of being a psychologist because I have a fairly large hearing loss (for which I have hearing aids). I thought, ethically, it would not be right for me to become a psychologist because of the possible risk of mishearing clients (though in one to one situations it is often fine) and perhaps making them feel uncomfortable if I ask them to repeat what they've said. So I chose not to do psychology at college.
But I wonder if this was the wrong choice. If I didn't have a hearing loss, I'd undoubtedly go for psychology. So I am interested in your opinion - was this the right choice? I'm wondering because it's not too late for me to change my mind - I can still do AS Psychology next year (I am a year 12) and even if I didn't, most universities don't require AS/A level Psychology.
Many thanks in advance.
