Second, the sub-scales of the self-identity scale influencing the communication-related quality of life of adolescents with hearing impairments were self-esteem and affinity. The sub-scale of the self-efficacy scale influencing the communication-related quality of life of adolescents with hearing impairments was preference of difficult tasks. Limitations of the study, suggestions for future studies, and implications for educational settings were discussed.
