Abstract
Hearing-impaired students are the largest single population of children requiring special services in schools, and the majority of these children are being mainstreamed into regular classrooms. Because of the dearth of educational audiologists who are the most appropriate professionals to manage hearing loss, the job of providing "need-to-know" information and in-service to classroom teachers often falls to the school's speech-language pathologist. The information necessary for a hearing-impaired child's survival in regular classrooms revolves around three main issues: understanding the nature of hearing and consequences of hearing loss; the essential use of technology to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio (typically FM equipment); and educational management strategies. The purpose of this article is to provide information which will enable the speech-language pathologist to deliver adequate services and to answer pertinent questions posed by teachers who have hearing-impaired children in their classrooms.
