It is hypothesized that deaf and hard of hearing adolescents hav e lower self - esteem than their hearing peers. Methods: The final sample included 130 adolescents who were split into two groups with the method of equal pairs: 65 D/HH adolescents and 6 5 HA, which were esta blis hed on the basis of gender, age, nationality, and educational programme of schooling. The phenomenon of self - esteem was measured with the Rosenberg Self - Esteem Scale, which was translated and adapted into the Slovenian Sign Langu age (SSL). Results: The results show significant differ ren - ces in self - esteem between D/HH and HA adolescents. D/HH adolescents have, on average, lower self - esteem than HA. There are differences in self - esteem regarding gender and also regarding ages of 16 and of 20. D/HH adolescents who use speech or sign language in their communication have higher self - esteem than those who use mostly sign language. D/HH adolescents in mainstream schools have hig her self - esteem than those included into a segregated form of schooling.
