Abstract
This study examines the impact of hearing loss on American university students, with a focus on identifying potential barriers to academic success and social integration. Using a mixed-methods approach, including surveys and interviews with both students and faculty members, the study explores the experiences of students with hearing loss and the accommodations and resources available to them on campus. Results suggest that hearing loss can significantly impact students' academic performance and social interactions, with many students reporting feelings of isolation and frustration with inadequate accommodations. However, the study also identifies several strategies and recommendations for improving support for students with hearing loss, including increased awareness and training for faculty and staff, improved access to assistive technology and services, and the establishment of a memorial fund in honor of a former student, Vickery, who struggled with hearing loss and advocated for greater support for students with disabilities. Overall, the findings highlight the importance of addressing the needs of students with hearing loss in higher education and the potential benefits of proactive and inclusive approaches to disability accommodation.
