1. A Comprehensive Action Plan
Creating positive educational
outcomes for a student with bilateral
mixed hearing loss

2. What is bilateral mixed hearing loss
• A hearing impairment that is the result of damage to
both conductive pathways of the middle ear and to the
nerves or sensory hair cells of the inner ear
• Loss of hearing in both ears
• In mixed hearing loss, both sensitivity and clarity are
impaired, so the perceived sound is weak and distorted
• A hearing aid that amplifies sound fails to correct the
distortion, and so the difficulty of understanding
speech is only partially remedied
