Session Overview: Adolescent deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) students who choose to not wear hearing aids, and who admit this to their audiologist and educational support worker, are at risk of being abandoned by audiological and educational services. These students take the risk of not hearing as well as they could do in a variety of situations, all for personal reasons that may be difficult to understand and accept by their audiologist, educational support person and family/whanau. The effects of non-hearing aid use on their educational progress and personal lives are often not known or predictable. Audiologists may be at a loose end as to what to do for these students.
