Purpose: This study was to compare the resilience of hearing-impaired and normal male and female students of high schools in Qorveh. Method: This is a causal-comparative (ex post facto) research. 253 normal students (130 boys and 123 girls) were selected by multistage cluster random sampling and 32 hearing impaired students (17 boys and 15 girls) by available sampling method. Subjects were asked to complete the Connor and Davidson resilience scale. T-test was used to analyze the data. Results: The results of comparisons showed that normal boy and girl students were significantly superior to hearing-impaired. Conclusion: Extensive attention should be paid to factors affecting resilience, including problem solving skills, independence and self-esteem.
