Our research project of Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development （AMED）from 2023 to 2025, led by Akiko Sugaya, Okayama University, aims to develop a job matching support method for hearingimpaired individuals based on a checklist from prior research from 2020 to 2022, led by Prof. Takashi Nakagawa, Kyushu University. In our project, a trial version of a remote guidance manual was created to improve workplace environments through multidisciplinary collaboration. This manual, written by these hearing specialists, covers five areas：“audiological intervention”,“social welfare intervention”,“communication guidance”,“job coaching”, and “workplace adaptation support”. This report introduces the manual's content.
