This study explored the challenges facing students with hearing impairment in the inclusive classroom in public secondary school in Kyerwa District. The study was guided by the theory of mind by David Premack in 1978. Specifically, the study intended to identify the academic challenges facing students with hearing impairment in inclusive classroom. The study employed a qualitative research approach. The study used a case study research design. The study used twenty-nine respondents. Data were collected through interview guide, focused group discussion, documentary review and observation. The study considered all aspects of trustworthiness in qualitative research. The study employed non probability sampling techniques which were purposive sampling and snowball sampling. Data were analysed and presented through content analysis. The findings revealed that students with hearing impairment face academic challenges including: lack of sign language interpreters, lack of hearing devices and delay in achieving and capturing the concepts taught in the class. The study recommended that, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology should provide seminars and training to the teachers who are teaching students with hearing impairment so as they can get knowledge about inclusive education.
