hundred fifth- and sixth-grade students were asked to rate slides of male children of the same age wearing various hearing aids, glasses, or no aid. Rating was accomplished using a semantic differential scale. The children gave poorer ratings to peers wearing hearing aids. Results suggest that normal-hearing children may need to be "educated" prior to hearing-impaired children entering their classroom.
