The study sample consisted of 126 teachers of deaf and hard of hearing students in the institutes and programs of Al-Amal in Riyadh. The researcher used the descriptive analytical method. The results of the study showed that the most frequent response related to the level of teachers' use of educational techniques in the educational process of deaf and hard of hearing students was "intermediate knowledge", followed by a lesser response, and finally a response indicating that the techniques were not employed or used. The study found no statistically significant differences between the average scores of teachers of deaf and hard of hearing students in their performance on the scale measuring the actual use of educational techniques according to the educational qualification variable (institute/integration program) and the educational qualification variable of the teacher.
