In this course, you’ll explore the process of hearing, types of hearing loss, and key technologies that support communication access—including hearing aids, cochlear implants, and assistive listening systems. These technologies are often used alongside speech-to-text services.

This course provides a foundational understanding that will help you work more effectively with individuals who use these technologies. It also prepares you for related topics in other Basic Skills Companion Courses, where familiarity with hearing technologies and their impact on communication is important.
