Here are 10 strategies teachers can use to help hearing-impaired children. They’ve been adapted from the United Federation of Teachers website . Make sure hearing-impaired students wear amplification devices, such as a frequency modulated (FM) unit that will connect to a microphone for you to wear. “ The FM device allows your voice to be heard directly by the student,” according to the UFT website. Use the child’s residual hearing, as the total hearing loss is rare. Allow hearing-impaired students to sit where they think best, as sitting close to the teacher will help the child to better understand the context of your words by observing your facial expressions. Don’t shout. If the child is already wearing an FM device, your voice will be amplified, as it is. Give interpreters copies of lessons in advice.
