Hearing impaired students generally study with other students who have the same special need in special schools called Sekolah Luar Biasa B (SLB B). However, inclusive education which enables students with special need to study in the same classes with normal students has been developing rapidly in recent years in Indonesia. This study aimed at investigating the social adjustment of hearing impaired students who study with normal students in a general school. A qualitative approach with case study method was employed. Participants of the study were three hearing impaired students and three significant others of each student who were their parents, teachers dan close friends. Data were analysed using a thematic analysis. This study found that participants socially adjusted in effective ways during their studies with normal students in the general school. Abstrak: Siswa tuna rungu pada umumnya belajar dengan siswa lain yang memiliki kebutuhan khusus serupa di sekolah-sekolah khusus yang disebut Sekolah Luar Biasa B (SLB B). Namun pendidikan inklusif yang memungkinkan siswa dengan kebutuhan khusus untuk belajar di kelas yang sama dengan siswa normal telah berkembang pesat dalam beberapa tahun terakhir di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji penyesuaian sosial siswa tuna rungu yang belajar dengan siswa normal di sekolah umum. Pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Partisipan penelitian adalah tiga siswa tuna rungu dan tiga orang lain yang signifikan bagi setiap siswa, yakni orang tua mereka, guru dan teman dekat mereka. Data dianalisis menggunakan analisis tematik. Studi ini menemukan bahwa partisipan menyesuaikan diri dengan cara-cara yang efektif selama masa studi mereka dengan siswa normal di sekolah umum.

Input at early ages, hearing loss can compromise emotional health and cause learning difficulties. Nonetheless, there are relatively few relevant investigations addressing emotional development in hearing-impaired students. The current research intended to compare the self-reported emotional functioning in hearing and hearing-impaired students in order to examine whether there are differences between them. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 94 hard-of-hearing individuals and 104 typical hearing subjects between 16 and 24 years of age from three institutions in Kazakhstan. The overall happiness, life satisfaction, level of anxiety, and emotional preferences were assessed with the Subjective Happiness Scale, Satisfaction with Life Scale, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and a questionnaire developed by Dodonov, respectively. The data were subjected to the multivariate analysis of variance. Children and adolescents with hearing loss are reportedly more likely than typical hearing peers to experience various psychosocial difficulties, antisocial disorders, and reactions. However, in the present research, both groups were similar regarding the emotional preferences, apart from the altruistic scale, which was significantly higher (P <0.001) in hearing-impaired participants relative to their hearing counterparts. When compared to normal-hearing persons, hard-of-hearing respondents had higher scores (P <0.001) for trait and state anxiety while having lower scores (P ≤0.001) for satisfaction with life and overall happiness, which could be seen as a matter of concern. As a potential future line of research, throwing more light on other aspects of emotional functioning in learners with hearing loss might be necessary. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory performed on hearing-impaired youth. The findings from this investigation could be of practical help to practitioners working with hard-of-hearing students, providing additional information on their emotional well-being.

Handicapping conditions which affect communication, such as a hearing loss, make the identification, diagnosis, and provision of services to gifted and talented handicapped students difficult. A hearing loss has no effect on intellectual ability but it is difficult to determine the presence of creativity in hearing impaired children. A survey of programs in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan area was conducted and several areas of need were found. Returns showed that programs and support services necessary to meet the unique needs of gifted and talented hearing impaired students were limited.

This article presents the findings of a two-fold investigation. First, the demographic distribution of unilateral hearing loss in a large school district having approximately 54,000 students is reported. Second, the academic performance of the unilaterally hearing-impaired students is presented. The findings suggest that a unilateral hearing loss may have an adverse effect on some students' performance, contrary to the conventional attitude regarding this disorder.
