This is a summary report of the major findings of a study designed to examine the social and psychological implications of acquired deafness for adults of employment age, issued with a National Health Service hearing aid between 1970 and 1976 in the Greater London Area. Acquired deafness, long after rehabilitation, was found to cause considerable and serious personal unhappiness.
这是一项研究的主要结果总结报告。该研究旨在调查后天性耳聋对就业年龄段成年人的社会和心理影响，这些成年人于1970年至1976年期间在大伦敦地区领取了国民医疗服务体系的助听器。研究发现，即使在康复很久之后，后天性耳聋仍会导致相当严重的个人痛苦。
