Objectives

In recent years some studies could show that beside the negative effects of the stressful encounters resulting from disorders and handicaps also positive experiences can be made. The aim of our study is to determine which strategies help the hearing impaired to gain positive experiences.

Methods

The Trierer Persönlichkeitsfragebogen (Becker 1989) and a german translation of a questionnaire which was designed to measure the positive experiences in life with acquired hearing impairment (Stephens and Kerr 2003) were distributed to persons with aquired hearing impairment, which were recruted at acousticians and ENT-doctors.

Results

Positive experiences are gathered mainly by successful communication behaviour.

(Eisenwort et al. in press)

Conclusions

Successful communication helps the hearing impaired to gain positive experiences.
