The educational needs of children with hearing impairments are the responsibility of local and state education agencies. Comprehensive audiology services to children include prevention, identification, assessment, habilitation and instructional services, supportive in-service and counseling, and follow-up and monitoring services. Audiology programs in schools must be supported by appropriate and adequate equipment and materials, technical assistance, administrative support, and evaluation and research. The needs of children with hearing impairments are diverse. Therefore, a team approach which includes the school audiologist is the only feasible way to ensure that they receive comprehensive services. Services for children with hearing impairments are greatly enhanced when audiologists are on the educational team. The inclusion of audiologists makes possible the proper interpretation and integration of audiologic data into educational planning for programming. Audiologists bring critical and unique skills and knowledge to the educational setting, thus ensuring the maximal exploitation of residual hearing for auditory learning and communication. Audiology services can be obtained by employing audiologists within the schools or by contracting for their services. Regardless of the service delivery system used, adequate numbers of audiologists must be employed to provide appropriate and comprehensive audiology services to all children.
有听力障碍儿童的教育需求由地方和州教育机构负责。为儿童提供的综合听力学服务包括预防、识别、评估、 habilitation （此处可能是“康复训练”之意，原文拼写有误？）和教学服务、支持性在职培训和咨询，以及随访和监测服务。学校的听力学项目必须得到适当且充足的设备和材料、技术援助、行政支持以及评估和研究的支持。有听力障碍儿童的需求多种多样。因此，包括学校听力学家在内的团队协作方式是确保他们获得全面服务的唯一可行途径。当听力学家加入教育团队时，为有听力障碍儿童提供的服务会得到极大提升。听力学家的加入使得听力学数据能够被正确解读并融入教育规划与课程安排之中。听力学家为教育环境带来关键且独特的技能和知识，从而确保最大程度地利用残余听力进行听觉学习和交流。可以通过在学校雇佣听力学家或通过签约获取他们的服务来获得听力学服务。无论采用何种服务提供系统，都必须雇佣足够数量的听力学家，以便为所有儿童提供适当且全面的听力学服务。
