Hearing impairment is defined under federal law as an impairment in hearing that negatively impacts educational performance but is not considered deafness. Common characteristics of those with hearing impairments include lack of attention, using gestures, monotone voice, speech delays, working best in small groups, and difficulty following directions. Teaching strategies include ensuring the student can see your face, using visual aids, speaking clearly without shouting, writing on boards, and using captions.

The ear is the part of the body that is used for hearing. Information about the
world is acquired through hearing. Anybody that hears nothing around him, no
matter how loud the sound is should be seen as having ear problem. It is a condition
or rather an impairment which is a physical, observable condition of tissue that can
affect the function of the organ system of which that tissue is a part. Hearing
impairment is a disability that can affect the effective functioning of the total
personality no matter the period of onset. Among the earliest attempt to define
hearing impaired was the one made by the committee of Nomenclature of the
conference of Executives of American schools for the deaf (1938) which says
that the deaf are those people in whom the sense of hearing is non-functioning for
the ordinary purpose of life. According to them also, the hard-of-hearing can be
defined as those in whom the sense of hearing although defective is functional with
or without a hearing aid.
