Using Hearing Aids in the Classroom

In class an important adaptation for students with hearing impairments is presentation of aids.  It is important to remember these tips in your classroom: 

  • Avoid turning your back to the student when speaking.
  • Try to avoid standing with your back to a window or other light source.
  • Repeat questions or comments made by other persons in the room.
  • Keep the areas of the mouth visible to the student.
  • Speak naturally and clearly but avoid exaggerated lip movements or volume.
  • Use facial expressions, gestures, and other "body language" to help convey your message.
