How to start college if you're deaf or hard of hearing
Work with your school counselor.
Your high school guidance counselor can help you set up a schedule to keep track of all the application deadlines. They also will have information about the services for hearing impaired students available at different schools.
Set up an appointment with the counselor as soon as possible, preferably during your junior year of high school. This gives you plenty of time to properly evaluate different schools and choose the one that is best for you.
