Results: The findings of this study showed an observable difference between people having normal hearing and those who suffer from hearing loss in terms of psychological disorders for instance (physical problems, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder). The results showed that such disorders are more common among people who suffer from hearing loss. Conclusion: There are meaningful differences between people who have normal hearing and those suffering from hearing impaired in terms of all main variables of the study.
