International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF,WHO 2001) is a holistic framework for integrating biological, psychological, and social aspects of human functioning. Purpose of the study: Impact of hearing loss on prelingual and post lingual deafness with and/or without amplification device based on ICF Framework. Method: Group I (GRP-I) consisted of 120 adult hearing aid users and Group II (GRP-II) also consisted of 120 adult sign language users considering the age range of 18-60 years .Results: Mann-Whitney ‘U’ test was used to compare between GRP-I and GRP-II with respect to domains of ICF. Conclusion: The current study addressed the various issues faced by individuals who are using hearing aid amplification and individuals using sign language as mode of communication. As audiologists we should frame our intervention options in an advanced manner considering all the domains in-order to provide better quality of life to these population.
