Average hearing impaired students show an ever increasing gap in vocabulary growth, complex sentence comprehension and construction, and concept formation as compared to students with normal hearing. In teaching such students, the primary focus should be on facilitating communication. Deafness is an invisible disability. Therefore, it is easy for teachers to “forget about it” and treat the student as a regular person.

Welcoming changes are taking place in society's attitude towards persons with disability.Once regarded as objects of pity and charity, disabled persons are now able to become more productive by tapping their residual abilities and faculties.They need support.People with locomotors and visual impairments present their demands themselves, demands for Hearing Impaired (H/I) people are drafted by people who are not H/I themselves and hence fail to utilize the aid in an effective and efficient way

Today, Hearing Impaired persons have access to all types of advanced courses. Even then they face significant challenge when they seek higher education or vocational opportunity. At the moment there is no Discrimination law in India. There should be a law where Hearing Impaired persons are given same opportunities as that of normal persons. Hearing Impaired persons need equal opportunity, not lip sympathy
