Educational Facts on Hearing Loss

Content: Children with hearing disabilities tend to focus on the speaker’s facial expressions and lip reading. For teachers, it helps to look directly at the child when speaking. Slow down the speed of the conversation and practice using clear pronunciations (mouth movements). Small gestures (thumbs up) and body language (head nod) can do wonders for a child who feels left behind. Keep in mind. Hearing loss is not the only issue a child is dealing with in the classroom. The physical appearance of the aid carries some uneasy feelings for most children. Calming these feelings is another learning curve for hearing impaired students. Classroom Study Aids
With all of the advancement in hearing aids, technology has yet to come up with a concept that restores normal hearing completely. Most hearing aids work better within close proximity of the speaker.
