The purpose of this study was to assess mathematics learning and achievement of students with hearing impairment. Descriptive survey research design was used for this study. The study was carried out in Menelik II preparatory school. The study sample comprised 4 mathematics teachers, 4 interpreters and 40 students with hearing impairment. Data was collected by use of questionnaires, observation and document analysis.
