Abstract:

The overarching goal of the work described in this dissertation is to
get insight into academic performances and experiences of students who
are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) in mainstream higher education and
to what extent access to academic language affect their educational
career.


In addition to general individual differences among students, the
academic success of students who are DHH will also be affected by
factors (in)directly related to their hearing loss. In this respect,
first the higher educational listening contexts were evaluated by
means of a questionnaire to assess the quality of the listening
experiences of students and the acoustics were measured in a
representative set of university classrooms. Furthermore, performance
scores of students on language proficiency tests and non-verbal
intelligence subtests were evaluated and finally, to get a more
in-depth understanding of the perspectives and experiences of students
who are DHH’s in mainstream higher education, a qualitative study was
conducted.

The outcomes revealed that the current acoustic environment of Dutch
higher education institutions is not optimal for learning. However,
once enrolled in a higher educational program, students who are DHH
perform equally well as their peers with typical hearing on cognitive
and linguistic tests. This indicates that academic success in students
who are DHH only partially depends on receptive linguistic capacities.
Strong cognitive skills and/or developed coping mechanisms, might
compensate for missed information in the auditive signal.
Nevertheless, the promising academic performances of students who are
DHH seem to have repercussions on their social and emotional
well-being.
