Several years ago, I had a student who had complete hearing loss in one ear. To accommodate this student, I made sure that he was always sitting with his good ear facing towards me, or that I was on the side of his good ear when I addressed the class. When working with this student one-on-one, I made sure to sit on the side of the functioning ear so that he could better hear and understand me.
Unfortunately for this student, class discussions were often hard for him to keep up with and he spent a lot of time swiveling his head to catch what was being said. But he compensated well and was not afraid to ask someone to repeat themselves if he felt he missed something imperative to the conversation.
