Assistive Technology for Hearing Impairments

These forms of technology are made specially for children who have trouble hearing. Closed captioning is a technology that allows the teacher to type the lecture onto the bottom of a video or screen so the student can read it rather than struggle to listen. Another type is a cochlear implant that would allow the teacher to speak into a microphone connected directly to the student's ear. The final type is to use texting as a form of communication. All of these types of technology are excellent and they would definitely assist a student of all ages.
