Wheeler, Lindsey R AU - Anne Marie Tharpea TI - Young Children’s Attitudes Toward Peers Who Wear Hearing Aids N2 - This study examined whether young children with normal hearing demonstrated negative attitudes toward peers wearing hearing aids, often described as the “hearing aid effect.” The effect of age on these attitudes was also examined. Method: Forty-five typically developing children with normal hearing, aged 6–11 years, were recruited to answer questions about and rate photos of children with and without hearing aids in areas of peer acceptance as well as physical and cognitive competence. Participants completed a forced-choice task, a perceived competence rating task, and a sociometric rating task UR - https://dspace.nal.gov.au/xmlui/bitstream/handle/123456789/1068/Young%20Children%e2%80%99s%20Attitudes%20Toward.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y ER -
