Definition
Hearing impairment as a disability category is similar to, but not the same as, the deafness category. The official definition of a hearing impairment by the Education of Persons with Disabilities Act (IDEA) is “a permanent or intermittent hearing impairment that interferes with a child’s academic achievement but does not fall within the definition of ‘deafness’.”, understanding the definition of deafness is necessary to understand what types of disabilities qualify as hearing disabilities. A hearing loss above 90 decibels is generally considered deafness, which means that a hearing loss below 90 decibels is classified as a hearing impairment.
