“…Kent [26] reported that individuals with a hearing disability were more likely to report feeling and/or experiencing loneliness than those with hearing. Many adolescents have a constant desire to be perceived as 'normal', and not having 'hearing' problems [27] because they are very aware of the power differentials between themselves and the 'dominant' hearing culture leading to marginization [28]. With improved hearing comes the chance of developing 'good' spoken language [29] and possible better health.…”

This paper explores the issue of deaf children in mainstream education and the implications this has for their health. Currently more than 48,000 children in the UK are classified as deaf with some 85% taught in mainstream schools although they are significantly educationally underachieving. The vulnerability of deaf children and some of the difficulties they face are highlighted. An outline is provided of the nature of deafness and the Deaf Community, together with a description of cochlear implants and of British Sign Language. Some of the issues relating to the need for assessment, treatment and support for deaf children are discussed, including increased risk of sexual and physical abuse. Possible professional roles for psychologists are identified.

“…In the light of recent literature on the inclusion movement (Most, 2004;Punch and Hyde, 2005;Sari, 2005), some professionals who have experience in teaching and administrative roles in special education have maintained that teachers' attitudes towards deaf students are important factors in the success or failure of attempts to include these children in regular classrooms. Therefore, teacher education programmes need to inform teachers' attitudes towards the inclusion of deaf students in their classes by extending their information base and their teaching skills.…”

The aim of the present study is to examine the impact of an INSET programme on regular classroom teachers' attitudes towards deaf students educated in regular primary schools. In this research project, a quantitative research approach is used involving randomised allocation of subjects to groups, and a pre-test -post-test design. The sample for each group consisted of a random allocation of 61 teachers to an experimental group and 61 teachers to a control group. The research instruments were: 1) a programme of INSET courses based on the Deaf Friendly Teaching: Practical Guidance for Teachers Working with Deaf Children (National Deaf Children 's Society, 2004), and 2) 'The Opinions Relative to Mainstreaming' survey, which was developed by Antonak and Larrivee (1995), and was translated and adapted by Kırcaali-Iftar (1997) in Turkey. The results indicated that the teachers in the experimental group increased their knowledge about deafness and that their attitudes were signifi cantly more positive. In particular, the teachers' attitudes changed in relation to classroom management and knowledge about the education of deaf students in inclusive settings.

“…However, the topics under investigation were largely determined by professionals, rather than allowing the young people themselves to shape the direction of enquiry. This may mean that the young person's interpretations of and feelings about the experience are not fully explored (Punch and Hyde, 2005).…”

“…The career aspirations of teenagers with a hearing loss has been discussed in the literature since these students are more likely to encounter obstacles both in the environment and in the attitudes of others, which may negatively impact on their success (Punch and Hyde, 2005;Punch et al, 2006). These studies highlighted a number of barriers that the teenagers perceived to be related to their hearing.…”

“…Social loneliness was also explored by Punch and Hyde (2005) who used a mixed methods approach. The researchers used a generic survey of social loneliness and slightly modified the language for teenagers (although without consulting any teenagers to check for clarity), and semi-structured interviews to explore key areas of interest arising from the questionnaire.…”

Whilst much research has focused on the general health needs of adolescents, little is known about the specific needs of teenagers who wear cochlear implants. Thus it is important to widen the knowledge base regarding the experiences of this population, and to assist professionals to support this age group more effectively.This qualitative study investigated teenage cochlear implant users' perceptions of deafness, surgery, fitting of the device and life as a cochlear implant wearer in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of teenagers' experiences of living with a cochlear implant by putting their perspectives at the heart of the research. This was achieved by working with the teenagers collaboratively throughout the research.Phase one of the study involved engaging with a small group of teenagers with cochlear implants to develop a website that would allow them to share their experiences. In phase two, ten semi-structured interviews were undertaken and nine were analysed using template analysis. Some teenagers experienced great preoperative anxiety and significant post-operative pain. Anxiety and pain are physiologically linked so strategies for reducing their anxiety are discussed. There was also a mismatch between their expectations and the disappointing reality of adjusting to the device. Disconfirmation-expectancy theory suggests that expectations counselling may narrow this gap. However, over time they experienced significant functional and psychosocial benefits as a result of their lives being easier. Almost all described complex, flexible identities where they felt connections with both the hearing and deaf world. Theoretical models of deaf identity support this 'bicultural' state. However, the hearing world sometimes posed difficulties for them when the listening environment was challenging. By giving prominence to the teenagers' voices this study has added new knowledge concerning their experience of surgery. The findings also more fully revealed the challenges of adjusting to the device and the impact of having a cochlear implant on the teenagers' identities.ii iii
