The Sample consisted of 157 students selected from deaf school in Jordan whose age ranged from 13-16.12 years.

Findings revealed that the level of perceived self-efficiency among deaf students was moderate, their intelligence distributed normally, and the degree of hearing impairment impacted negatively on Speech Comprehensive, Working Memory, and Total Intelligence.

Perceived self-efficiency had no impact on Speech Comprehensive, Working Memory, and Total Intelligence whereas the degree of hearing impairment and perceived self-efficiency variables had no impact on Sensory Perception and Execution Speed among deaf students.

Further, perceived self-efficiency impacted positively on vocational decision-making while the degree of hearing impairment had no impact.

The study recommends conducting further research related to the appropriate jobs which suite the degree of hearing impairment.
