Objective: This study compared auditory perception of the severely hearing impaired (70-90 dBHL) students of deaf and regular primary schools. Method: From both genders, 36 severely hearing impaired students were randomly recruited and matched in respect of other variables such as the onset of hearing impairment , age of diagnosis, parent's hearing,, socioeconomic level of family, Intelligence and presence of additional disability conditions. All subjects were evaluated by otoscopy, puretone and speech and immittance audiometery. Persian version of auditory perception test for Hearing Impaired (APT/HI) administered for all subjects. Results: Mean average of total scores of eight subtests of deaf schools in grade one – three respectively were 164.95, 170.3, 153.45 and in the regular schools were 181.45, 191.45 and 188.95 and analysis of variances  (F = 42.58), (P = 0.0001) indicated that there were significant differences between the two groups of students (integrated/regular and deaf schools). Conclusion: The study displays that students who study in the regular schools have a better auditory perception than the comparison group in the deaf schools.
