This research aimed to explore the perception of parents of students with hearing impairment (SWHI) about vocational training being offered to their children at educational institutions. Since there are limited vocational training and employment opportunities for SWHIs, parents don't have exact idea about the market demands for such training. So it is very important to know about their perception regarding the vocational education being offered. In this descriptive research, a self-developed survey questionnaire was used to know and compare the perception of the parents of SWHIs. Population was the parents of the deaf students studying in secondary classes in public and private institutions of Punjab. Convenient sampling technique was used to collect the data from 209 parents. Parents of deaf girls showed more positive perception about the awareness, accessibility, and effectiveness of vocational training being offered. The study recommended that educators and policy makers should be aware of parental concerns by involving them in programs designing process.

This study explored the social experiences of 12 deaf and hard‐of‐hearing female university students. Semi‐structured interviews identified four key themes: university environment, peer interactions, communication and personal barriers. The majority of participants described their social experiences as positive and better than their experiences at school. The participants experienced collaboration, support, peer acceptance, friendship and high awareness of hearing disability among their hearing peers. Communication with peers was facilitated by using applications, sign language and lip reading. However, a lack of understanding from faculty members, isolation, and ignorance exhibited by some peers resulted in negative experiences for a few participants. Some participants reported personal barriers, such as personal characteristics, past negative experiences, and fear of disclosing their disability. Given the importance of social support and inclusion for students' success and well‐being, universities must prioritise the social experiences of deaf and hard‐of‐hearing students as much as their academic experiences.

“…Even though the quantity of hard of hearing students who are going to colleges and universities has expanded of late, a few investigations have demonstrated that most hard of hearing understudies don't complete their higher studies on account of a few challenges [2]. These problems range from the inability to hear either mostly or entirely, to the absence of special facilities to support them in overwhelming the personal and social barriers they meet due to hearing deficiency or loss or at least permit them to develop their learning proficiency as fast as their peers [3]. Subsequently, viable technological support is fundamental to improve the learning climate of hard of hearing-and hearing-impaired students.…”

The present educational training methods present barrier for students with hearing impairment in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) in accessing both information in the classroom as well as getting trained for placement. The suggested solution by many researchers recommending mixing of such students with normal students in doing classroom and project-related activities have reported leading to some psychological problem in the students with hearing impairment. The study proposes the use of support services such as interpreters, real-time captioning, assistive tools and note-making to enhance the effectiveness of the teaching-learning process. The effectiveness of the services must be evaluated by conducting frequent tests to know about the understanding level of the students and many mock interviews have to be conducted to get rid of their fear in facing the interviews. This can be done under the supervision of a sign language interpreter. At the Kalasalingam Academy of Research and Education, an attempt is made to implement this proposed step in collaboration with the industry who gives importance to the hearing impaired students. A survey conducted for the students, as well as the recruiters, involving about 300 students and 6 recruiters, indicate that such systematic training approach gives confidence to the students and their performance is found to be almost at par with the normal students, enabling such students to be effective engineers in the computing field who can confidently contribute their services to the society.
