Abstract
This study explores the lived experiences of secondary students with hearing impairments in adapting to new learning modalities, such as online, hybrid, and modular distance learning, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a qualitative-empirical and phenomenological research design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, online consultations, observations, and written surveys with 15 students from inclusive education and self-contained classroom settings in Danao City. The findings reveal significant challenges, including difficulties in comprehending lesson content without direct teacher instruction and inadequate home-based support. The absence of regular monitoring and support from special education teachers further exacerbated these issues, leading students to rely on self-directed learning and assistance from peers and family members. The study underscores the urgent need for inclusive educational strategies, enhanced educator training in remote teaching methods, improved accessibility features in learning materials, and consistent monitoring and support mechanisms. These measures are essential to ensure that students with hearing impairments receive the necessary guidance and resources to thrive in remote and hybrid learning environments.
