Deaf/Hard of Hearing
Hearing disabilities cover a broad range of auditory conditions from hard of hearing to total deafness. Hearing disabilities are considered hidden because they surface only upon communication. We offer comprehensive support to deaf and hard of hearing students enrolled in Hunter's undergraduate and graduate programs.
