Due to the widening access to medicine scheme, students with disabilities are entering medicine. Hearing-impaired students are an important subcategory of medical students, whose specific learning challenges with respect to medicine are poorly explored in the literature. We feel that this topic is particularly important and relevant given the current covid-19 pandemic, which has led to the widespread use of surgical masks, thereby posing a barrier to hearing, communication and education for hearing-impaired medical students. Therefore, the medical education of these students is of even more paramount importance as the pandemic continues. This personal view details the experiences of a current hearing-impaired medical student in the United Kingdom, with key learning points for medical educators who may require insight into hearing loss and how to tailor their teaching techniques accordingly.
由于医学专业准入计划的扩大，残疾学生也进入了医学院学习。听力障碍学生是医学生中的一个重要亚类，但是他们在医学方面的具体学习挑战在文献中研究得还不够充分。我们认为，鉴于当前的新冠疫情，这个话题尤其重要和相关，因为疫情导致了手术口罩的广泛使用，从而给听力障碍的医学生的听力、交流和教育带来了障碍。因此，随着疫情的持续，这些学生的医学教育就更加至关重要。这篇个人观点文章详细介绍了目前在英国的一名听力障碍医学生的经历，为可能需要深入了解听力损失以及如何相应地调整他们的教学技巧的医学教育者提供了关键的学习要点。
