Visual impairments can also be difficult in these situations and may affect a person’s ability to read body language, facial expressions and see gestures. Persons who have dual sensory loss will find it extremely difficult and be frustrated during day to day tasks. It can lead to loss of interests in activities and in some case may cause a person to have little or no contact with the world around them. It can have serious effects if a person misinterprets what they are being spoken to about by their family, friends and possibly medical professionals. Persons with hearing impairments would need to focus on reading lips and body language to uphold conversations just as people with visual impairments would rely on their hearing to be able to function effectively within society.
These methods of communication can be useful for building vocabularies of individuals with limited speech.

Cultural psychology is about finding links that are meaningful between a culture and how an individual thinks who lives in the same culture (Shiraev & Levy, 2010).

This might lead blind or partially sighted people to stop using some of the ways of communication. Hearing loss causes problems with face to face communication and people often miss what’s being said and often rely on their eyesight to compensate for their hearing loss and watch people’s faces to gain clues about what people are saying and to respond the right way. People who are losing both hearing and vision will find it difficult to look for clues.
