The COVID 19 pandemic resulted in the closing of all the schools and institutions, leaving students with online classes as the only way of coping up with their academics. The pandemic has affected students with disabilities at higher educational institutes in a completely different way. Students with Deafness and Hard of Hearing (SwDHH) faced various challenges in their daily life and online classes made them more vulnerable as compared to others. By gathering data through an online survey and analyzing it, this study tries to find the impact of the lockdown on the learning of SwDHH. The findings of the study highlight the challenge faced by the SwDHH and the effect of it on their learning.
