Abstract: Teacher training programs play a vital role in ensuring the effective education of students with hearing impairment (HI). Teaching HI learners requires specialized skills, including knowledge of communication methods, use of assistive technologies, and inclusive classroom practices. This paper presents a critical review of the structure, effectiveness, and challenges of teacher training programs in this field. The study is based on secondary data and adopts a qualitative approach, drawing information from research articles, books, and academic sources. The paper examines key factors such as teacher preparedness, professional development, and institutional support, and how these influence educational outcomes for HI students. Findings reveal that well-designed and properly implemented training programs significantly enhance teachers’ instructional strategies, communication abilities, and classroom management skills. As a result, students show improved academic performance, better engagement, and enhanced social interaction. However, the study also identifies several challenges, including lack of trained professionals, inadequate resources, limited access to continuous professional development, and weak policy implementation. These issues hinder the effectiveness of teacher training programs in many contexts. Overall, the paper highlights the importance of strengthening teacher training systems to ensure inclusive, equitable, and high-quality education for students with hearing impairment. Keywords: Teacher Training, Special Education, Hearing Impairment, Inclusive Education, Professional Development.
