Documentation Guidelines for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing

Services are provided to all Deaf and hearing impaired students at Pepperdine University who have a documented unaided bilateral hearing loss of at least 30 db. The audiologist who conducts this should be an impartial individual who is not related to the student. Documentation must include:

• A clear statement of deafness or hearing impairment with an audiogram that has been completed within the last three years.
• A summary of assessment procedures used to make the evaluation and a narrative summary of results.
• Name, address, phone, title and/or credentials of audiologist.
