· Captioned media can be a vital key when teaching to those with a hearing impairment. It allows students to understand the spoken input during a video. Often teachers create PowerPoints to accompany their lessons, any imbedded media can be accompanied by text so that the student can read along. Additionally, the text can be a printed transcript.

· Frequency Modulated System (FM System) allows the amplification of instruction while reducing the amount of background noise. This provides less distraction and great ability to receive instruction.

· A notetaker can be a great way to assist students, especially during a lecture course where content may be lost. As teachers move, change inflection, and vary their pace, a student with a hearing impairment can be impeded in their learning. By having a designated notetaker the student is freed up to receive more of the delivered instruction.
