Abstract
The main purpose of the study was to examine the academic achievement and self-concept of male and female hearing-impaired students in Nigeria. In doing so, a purposive sampling procedure was employed to elicit responses from 566 (364 males and 204 females) hearing-impaired secondary school students identified in various parts of the country. The Adolescent Personal Data Inventory (APDI) was used to measure self-concept while the respondents\' Junior Secondary Certificate Examination (JSCE) results were measures of their academic achievement. The data collected were analyzed using the t-test statistical procedure. The findings revealed that male hearing-impaired students did not achieve better than their female counterparts. It was also found that the self-concept of male hearing-impaired students was not significantly different from that of female hearing-impaired students.
