The aim of this study was to investigate the reality of learning motivation among deaf and hard-of-hearing students at King Saud University, and to examine the differences in the level of learning motivation based on the variables of gender and type of hearing impairment. The study adopted a descriptive analytical approach and used a questionnaire as a data collection tool. The study sample consisted of 91 deaf and hard-of-hearing students at King Saud University. The results indicated that the overall level of learning motivation among the deaf and hard-of-hearing students was high across all dimensions, which included: (peer relationships, teacher satisfaction, the need for achievement and mastering goals, parental satisfaction and expectations, expectations of success, and the motivation for knowledge). The results also showed statistically significant differences in the level of learning motivation between male and female students, with males showing higher motivation. However, no statistically significant differences were found in the level of learning motivation based on the type of hearing impairment (deaf vs. hard of hearing).
