Abstract

The largest population of children who receive special services in the school system are children who have been diagnosed with hearing loss. In order for these children to be successful in the classroom, certain topics, including hearing loss and hearing aids, should be addressed with students and teachers by the educational audiologist. Unfortunately, large caseloads prevent the educational audiologist from providing additional instruction to the classrooms. An inquiry was disseminated via the Educational Audiology Association (EAA) listserv in order to determine preferences regarding specific topics for an educational video on hearing loss and hearing aids. Results from the educational audiologists were used to develop a video for teachers and students in the elementary classroom.
