Educational Implications

• The child may not use her hearing as much with an unfamiliar voice, so an unfamiliar speaker may be less effective in teaching her.


• The child may miss important information when the enviroment is noisy or the sound source is more than a few inches from her ear.

Once you have considered how the child's use of hearing may affect the educational environment, you can make recommendations that will maximize the use of her hearing and help create a successful learning environment.
