Mich. Admin. Code R. 340.1707 - Deaf or hard of hearing
Rule 7.
(1) The
term "deaf or hard of hearing" refers to students with any type or degree of
hearing loss that interferes with development or adversely affects educational
performance. "Deafness" means a hearing loss that is so severe that the student
is impaired in processing linguistic information through hearing, with or
without amplification. The term "hard of hearing" refers to students who have
permanent or fluctuating hearing loss that is less severe than the hearing loss
of students who are deaf and that generally permits the use of the auditory
channel as the primary means of developing speech and language
skills.
(2) A determination of
impairment must be based upon a full and individual evaluation by a
multidisciplinary evaluation team, which shall include an audiologist and an
otolaryngologist or otologist.
