Abstract: This study focuses on the effects of perceived social support on life satisfaction of hearing impaired college students and examines the mediating role of self-esteem in the relationship. The study was conducted with 278 hearing impaired college students as subjects, and their levels of perceived social support, life satisfaction, and self-esteem were investigated using a questionnaire. The results showed that (1) perceived social support, self-esteem and life satisfaction were positively correlated; (2) perceived social support could affect life satisfaction by influencing self-esteem. The results of this study not only expand the theoretical research on the influencing factors of life satisfaction among hearing impaired college students, but also provide a practical basis for enhancing the life satisfaction of this group.
