The academic achievement of students with hearing loss is relatively low compared with that of students with no disabilities.

Option: (c)

Explanation:

Several studies were carried out to compare the "academic achievement" of students with hearing disability and the reports showed that the disabled students scored relatively low compared to the students with no disability. There was adverse effect on academic areas like learning, math, writing, etc. Also, the problem of higher absenteeism and higher dropout rate was faced along with lower GPA and SAT score. The students with disability also took one semester longer to complete the semester.
