Collaboration between teachers of students who are deaf and hard of hearing (TSDHH) and educational audiologists is essential when developing successful, comprehensive service delivery plans for students who are deaf and hard of hearing. Despite the importance, little is known about how these two professions work together. This study sought to describe the current state of collaboration between educational audiologists and TSDHH and to explore the barriers and facilitators to this collaboration. Anonymous survey responses from 752 educational audiologists and TSDHH showed that collaboration is considered valuable and is occurring frequently, via a variety of formats and despite significant barriers. More research is needed to understand how efforts to minimize barriers to collaboration might improve the quality of collaboration and ultimately impact the success of student support.
聋人和重听学生（TSDHH）教师与教育听力学家之间的合作对于为聋人和重听学生制定成功、全面的服务提供计划至关重要。尽管这很重要，但人们对这两个专业如何合作知之甚少。这项研究旨在描述教育听力学家与 TSDHH 之间目前的合作状态，并探讨合作的障碍和促进因素。来自 752 名教育听力学家和 TSDHH 的匿名调查回应表明，尽管存在重大障碍，但合作被认为是有价值的，并且正在以各种形式频繁进行。需要进一步研究，以了解如何努力减少合作障碍，以提高合作质量，并最终影响学生支持的成功。
