The national students with hearing loss subcommittee is committed to improving accessibility and providing a community for students with hearing loss interested in the profession of audiology as well as educating peers with normal hearing, audiologists, faculty, and the public about integrating accessibility into school and daily life and advocating for others with hearing loss. Below are several resources all students and professionals can refer to when interacting with individuals who have hearing loss. Additionally, there are resources specific to accessibility and empowerment for students with hearing loss.
