Many hearing-impaired adolescents aspire to science careers, but fewer pursue science majors in college. Targeted educational strategies are needed to support these students in STEM fields.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Neuroscience
  • Education

Background:

  • The Americans with Disabilities Act aims to improve career access for individuals with hearing loss.
  • Hearing-impaired professionals are underrepresented in hearing and deafness research.
  • This study addresses the underrepresentation of hearing-impaired individuals in scientific research careers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the career aspirations and academic pathways of gifted hearing-impaired adolescents.
  • To identify factors influencing the selection of science majors among hearing-impaired college students.
  • To inform strategies for increasing the participation of hearing-impaired youth in STEM fields.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire survey was administered to 190 hearing-impaired adolescents (ages 13-17) attending a summer program.

  • Data collected included career goals, academic attitudes, communication modality, and parental hearing status.
  • A follow-up survey of 80 college students provided data on college major and type of institution.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant proportion of surveyed adolescents expressed interest in science-related careers.
    • The percentage of college students majoring in science was lower than the percentage who aspired to scientific careers in high school.
    • Males were more likely to choose mathematics and science disciplines.

    Conclusions:

    • There is a gap between the science career aspirations of hearing-impaired adolescents and their subsequent college major choices.
    • Educational interventions targeting students, parents, and advisors are crucial for encouraging science pursuits.
    • Strategies should focus on supporting hearing-impaired students to successfully enter and complete STEM programs.
