Abstract
This study investigated the current status of sign language interpretation for students with hearing impairments and the problems they face with interpretation in higher education in Lahore. A quantitative, descriptive approach was used. The population comprised students with hearing impairments in higher education; the sample included 40 students from different higher education institutes in Lahore, selected via convenience sampling. Data was collected via questionnaires: one section with demographic questions, and one with closed-ended questions for students. Most students agreed that using visual aids and the interpreter's signs simultaneously enhanced understanding, and they were satisfied with the pace, seating, explanations, opportunities to participate, and interpretation. They also agreed the interpreters gave feedback and clarified concepts. The research concluded visual aids and simultaneous interpreting optimize understanding for students with hearing impairments.
