This research is aimed at analyzing the impact of inclusive processes for students with hearing impairment in higher education. For the methodology, a case study was carried out, specifically with students from the Early Childhood Education Program who were hearing impaired. A survey was applied as a technique and a questionnaire was used as an instrument to interview both the students and their teachers. The results highlighted the new policies existing in Higher Education and their inclusive nature; teacher training on methodological strategies; the inclusion of a sign interpreter and the need to make technological adaptations. To conclude, it is considered pertinent to make a permanent review of the current regulations, of the students’ profiles who present specific barriers, as well as of the realities present in the teaching community with respect to the preparation of suitable instruments.

Palabras clave : Higher education; educational inclusion; learning barriers; hearing impairment.
