Module 3E: Implications of Hearing Conditions for Learning
A learner with a hearing loss will need specific support in class in order to maximise their access to learning. Many of these are simple & easy to use.
Learners may experience functional effects of their hearing condition in the classroom environment and these effects may be experienced across the range of hearing conditions we’ve described.
All of these can be viewed in the presentation on the right.
Key Points
