The objectives of the study were to identify the learning styles of the hearing impaired students, to find out the mean difference between learning styles of hearing impaired students due to difference in socio-economic status, to discover the mean contrast between learning styles of listening to weakened understudies because of distinction in their age gathering, to explore the mean distinction between learning styles of listening to disabled understudies because of distinction in their listening to misfortune., to discover the mean distinction between learning styles of listening to weakened understudies because of contrast in their schools and to figure out the mean contrast between learning styles of listening to hindered understudies because of contrast in their evaluation at rudimentary level in schools of Lahore.
On the basis of hypothetical framework the instrument was developed to collect the data. The respondent responded against a five level scale (strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree and strongly disagree). After data collection it was tabulated and analyzed with the help of SPSS. The result was concluded that the Visual (.000) and Kinesthetic/Tactile (.000) learning styles were practiced in hearing impaired schools of Lahore. The impact of demographic variable ‘socioeconomic’ (.000) showed a significant difference with kinesthetic /tactile learning style at elementary students with hearing impairment. Cronbach’s Alpha value of the instrument was .815 which means that the instrument was reliable.
