This research aimed to explore students' perception of hearing loss about socialization with hearing impaired peers. Socialization is an important contributor for hearing impaired students interacting with hearing peers. Sometimes Hearing impairment cause barriers in communication with hearing peers. That is why it is important to find out about the perception of socialization of hearing students in higher education. The descriptive methodology was used to infer the conclusion in this quantitative research. The researcher developed a self-made questionnaire to explore the perception of hearing students. The population of this research was all the hearing students who had social interaction with hearing-impaired students in an inclusive education setup. Convenient sampling was used to select a sample from hearing students of BS and MA Special education and other programs to collect the data and then analyze by using descriptive and inferential analysis using SPSS. Response of majority students was positive towards the socialization of hearing students with hearing-impaired students at higher education. This research highlighted a new direction for improving socialization among hearing peers and students with hearing impairment. Such an initiative will encourage them to include them in developing countries like Pakistan. |
