In order for people with hearing impairments, who have difficulty in light of communication, to be successfully adjusted to work life, the positive ego-identity is very important. In other words, ego-identity is a major factor of having influence upon self-actualization and job preference. Desirable work life comes to decide on quality of life. Consequently, ego-identity, self-actualization and work life can be known to be formed with complementary relationship of deciding on a human being's life. This study aims to analyze relationship between identity and job preference in students with hearing impairments, and to offer basic data for career education. Its specific objective is as follows.

Third, it analyzes relationship between disability identity and job preference in students with hearing impairments. The results, which were obtained through this study, are as follows.

The disability identity in case of normal parents was indicated to be higher than disability identity in case of parents with hearing impairments. Second, the job preference according to individual background variable in students with hearing impairments showed significant difference depending on whether students with hearing impairments wear protector. In case of being performed cochlear implant, the job preference was the highest. The next was followed by a case of wearing hearing aid.
