I shall shortly be engaged in a 3-year research project concerned with the
psychosocial impact of profound deafness acquired gradually or suddenly in
adult life. The research aims to specifically include families at greatest
risk of social exclusion due to deafness. I would be grateful for any references to
academic work already carried out on on this subject, either here in the UK
or elsewhere. More generally I would also like to know of any research
where the responses to the questions in the GHS for 1993/4 (or subsequent
years) on hearing difficulties have been studied.
Thanks,
Paul Ashton
