Purpose: Regular students’ lack of knowledge about hearing and hearing loss can adversely impact their attitudes toward hearing loss, hearing care, and inclusion of students with hearing impairment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a disability-awareness program about hearing loss on regular students’ awareness of hearing loss and inclusive education with hearing-impaired students. Methods: In total, data of 142 middle school and high school students were used for analysis. A 90-minute disability-awareness program about hearing loss was implemented one time. The program included both understanding-based and activity-based educations. For the understanding-based education, information about the normal hearing mechanism, the causes and risks of hearing loss, and the prevention of hearing loss were given. Also, some famous deaf people who overcame their hearing loss were introduced, and group discussion and presentation were conducted. For the activity-based education, the activities of simulated listening with hearing loss and of wearing hearing aids were given. Results: The regular students’ awareness of hearing loss and hearing cares significantly improved after participating in one-time educational session, regardless of the grade. After participating in the program, the regular students reported more positive attitudes toward inclusive education with hearing-impaired students and agreed that the regular students would promote the communication and listening skills of hearing-impaired students. Among various activities, the activities of group discussion and presentation were the most favored. Conclusion: A disability-awareness program about hearing loss enhanced the awareness of the middle school and high school students regarding the risks and prevention of hearing loss, the importance of hearing health and care. The disability-awareness program also appeared to be positive on the regular students’ accepting attitudes toward inclusive education with hearing-impaired students. It indicates a need for more systematic and structured disability-awareness programs on hearing loss and hearing care in the future.
