In this study, mild hearing loss was defined as an average threshold of 20-39 dB at 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 kHz. Data analysis was done using SPSS Version 12.0 software. Chi-square test was used to determine the association between mild hearing loss and academic performance. The significant level was set at p=0.05. From a total of 257 students, 234 have completed the examinations (response rate=91.0%). Fifty-three percent of them were boys while 47% were girls. A hundred and forty-nine (63.7%) of them were from class A while 85 (36.3%) were from class C. The...Continue Reading
