Polat, Filiz
Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, v8 n3 p325-39 Sum 2003
A study involving 1,097 elementary and secondary students who are deaf found that degree of hearing loss, additional disability, and age at onset were negatively related to psychosocial adjustment. However, there was a positive relationship with the use of hearing aids, speech intelligibility, academic achievement, parental hearing status, and school communication methods.
