研究表明，在听力损失儿童中，心理社会困难的患病率约为20%至50%。本研究评估了丹麦人口中的心理社会困难的患病率与不同的解释变量。对334名听力损失儿童进行了五种量表和问卷调查，测量手语、口语、听力和心理社会困难。结果表明，与听力正常儿童相比，这些儿童的心理社会困难患病率高出3.7倍。在有其他残疾的儿童群体中，患病率是没有其他残疾的儿童的3倍。如果手语和/或口头语言能力良好，儿童的心理社会困难程度不会比听力正常的儿童高出很多。本研究记录了沟通的重要性，无论是听力损失的形式或程度，听力障碍儿童的心理健康。
Research has shown a prevalence of psychosocial difficulties ranging from about 20% to 50% among children with hearing loss. This study evaluates the prevalence of psychosocial difficulties in a Danish population in relation to different explanatory variables. Five scales and questionnaires measuring sign language, spoken language, hearing abilities, and psychosocial difficulties were given to 334 children with hearing loss. Results show that the prevalence of psychosocial difficulties was 3.7 times greater compared with a group of hearing children. In the group of children with additional disabilities, the prevalence was 3 times greater compared with children without additional disabilities. If sign language and/or oral language abilities are good, the children do not have a substantially higher level of psychosocial difficulties than do hearing children. This study documents the importance of communication-no matter the modality or degree of hearing loss-for the psychosocial well-being of hearing-impaired children.
