Parenting of people with hearing impairment: a comprehensive analysis of perspectives and experiences

Summary/Abstract: This article explores the perceptions of parenting among people with hearing impairment, analyzing it from three perspectives: those with hearing impairment who do not have children, those who do have children, and the hearing children of persons with hearing impairment. Quantitative methods (Q-methodology and a self-constructed questionnaire) and qualitative methods (focus groups and semi-structured interviews) were used with 49 respondents. Findings suggest that parenting of persons with hearing impairment is influenced by various factors, including motivation to parent, gender differences in perspectives, parenting styles, degree of hearing impairment, and limitations and risks associated with the impairment.
