This tipsheet is one in a series of publications that addresses services provided to students who are hard of hearing. It describes how telecoils, now available on both hearing aids and cochlear implants, can make a vast difference in the quality of sound for an individual with hearing loss.

Pepnet 2 has been my "Go To" resource for many years while coordinating services for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students. This can feel very isolating and our responsibilities are so unique, but with pepnet 2, I never feel like I'm alone. I'm very thankful for the funding that supports pepnet 2, which supports the rest of us.
