The Impact of Hearing Loss on Listening, Learning, and Social Interactions handouts are to be used to inservice school staff, increase understanding of families, and as a tool for student learning regarding the impact of hearing loss on speech perception and school needs. The handouts are appropriate to children and youth with primarily flat configuration hearing loss ranging from 26dB – 75dB. Different ranges of hearing are addressed in the 4 handouts to reflect unaided hearing ability or aided hearing thresholds. Estimates of specific speech sounds and audibility for quiet, conversational, and teacher speech are provided. Includes inservice resources with visual analogies for background noise, reverberation, and comprehension challenges.
