Description
Shahram Moradi, Lars Bauger, Christian Moller-Skau, and Tore Norendal Braathen study children who feel they hear poorly, in a 2026 paper. The team drew on a large school survey in Norway covering more than six thousand children aged ten to thirteen. Children rated their own hearing, their character traits, and how lonely they felt.
Children who reported hearing trouble scored lower on careful, goal-driven behavior and higher on worry and emotional sensitivity. They also reported more loneliness than classmates without hearing trouble. No gap appeared for outgoingness. The authors say schools should watch the emotional health of children with hearing trouble, not just their lessons, and build support for friendship and confidence into inclusive classrooms.
