I am looking for literature on hearing people's misconceptions (stereotypes) of deaf people. I am doing a study on this. It is hard for me to find sufficient information on this.

The only book I've heard of addressing the Deaf/HOH community anecdotally is "Everyone (Everybody?) Here Spoke Sign Language". It's a history of people in Martha's Vineyard, about half of which were deaf. I have yet to read it, but look forward to doing so.
I'm sure there are published papers available. It might make dry pedantic reading, depending upon presentation (hope not!). Have you tried contacting the library at GU?
Best of luck.

I wrote a graduate-level paper about the perceptions of hearing post-secondary students regarding Deaf and deaf post-secondary students. It was several years ago, but I can give you the list of references I used and you could follow up on that. Would that help?
