Teachers' Perceptions of Adolescent Girls Who Wear Hearing Aids.

Cox, Linda R.; And Others

Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, v20 n4 p372-80 Oct 1989

Females, aged 10-14, were photographed wearing a body aid, a postauricular aid, or no hearing aid. Ratings by 60 college education majors indicated that subjects pictured wearing a hearing aid were rated lower on achievement but higher on factors of appearance, personality, and assertiveness than subjects without the aid.
