Summary

This nationwide study aims to understand how hearing loss affects thinking, language, reading, and emotional wellbeing in 256 deaf or hard-of-hearing adolescents. Researchers will use tests and questionnaires to measure speech perception, cognitive skills, and school burnout. No treatment is given; the goal is to gather knowledge to improve support for these teens.
