Volta Review, v90 n2 p69-76 Feb-Mar 1988

Employment rates and earnings of 1,928 hearing-impaired individuals and 371 normal-hearing individuals who attended the Rochester Institute of Technology, 1968-1980, were compared. The study found that level of degree attained significantly influenced later wages and salaries and that hearing-impaired bachelors degree recipients earned 7 percent less than their normal-hearing counterparts.
