Abstract
This is a summary report of the major findings of a study designed to examine the social and psychological implications of acquired deafness for adults of employment age, issued with a National Health Service hearing aid between 1970 and 1976 in the Greater London Area. Acquired deafness, long after rehabilitation, was found to cause considerable and serious personal unhappiness.Keywords
