Deaf/Hard of Hearing

Physicians, including otolaryngologists and otologists, are qualified to provide diagnosis and treatment of hearing disorders. Audiologists may provide current audiograms. The diagnostician should be an impartial individual who is not a family member of the student.


Recommended documentation includes:

  1. A clear statement of Deafness or hearing loss, with a current audiogram;
  3. Medical information relating to the student's needs and the status of the student's hearing (static or changing) and its impact on the demands of the academic program;
  4. A statement regarding the use of hearing aids (if appropriate);
