Background:

  • Deaf and hard of hearing athletes experience few documented medical problems.
  • Hearing loss, a primary concern, has diverse etiologies.
  • A segment of individuals with hearing loss identify with the Deaf community, characterized by a distinct language and culture.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the medical considerations for deaf and hard of hearing athletes.
  • To highlight the importance of understanding Deaf culture in sports medicine.
  • To inform sports medicine physicians on effectively engaging with the Deaf athletic population.
