Volta Review, v96 n3 p185-206 Sum 1994

A survey was conducted of 100 graduates (ages 7-17) of an auditory/oral preschool in Australia for children with hearing impairments, with 92 being integrated with hearing peers and 8 segregated. The majority of students reported that they used hearing aids consistently; used speech as their major mode of communication; and perceived themselves as better listeners than speakers. (Author/JDD)
