“…People with hearing disabilities are keen to have a wide range of connections. They do not face major obstacles in building relationships with their family because of their disability (De Veirman, Haage, & Vikström, 2016). However, our findings have shown that some of them especially females face a variety of difficulties in building healthy relationships with friends, colleagues, and society, especially with the hearing population.…”

“…That's why it is believed that marriage has a greater potential in creating confidence, happiness, and peace of mind to couples (De Veirman, Haage, & Vikstrom, 2016). Fay (1898) andDe Veirman, Haage, andVikstrom (2016) have mentioned that people with hearing disability prefer to marry with people with hearing disability themselves. According to Mcintosh (1995), it is estimated that 90% of all mixed deaf-hearing marriages end up with divorce (Mosier, 1999).…”

“…Individuals with hearing loss not just regularly choose their friends from people who have a hearing disability too; they also usually marry in the same community (De Veirman, Haage, & Vikström, 2016). Married people may establish a great relationship and they believe that they will gain more independence and freedom, happiness, and peace of mind with each other (De Veirman, Haage, & Vikström, 2016). However, a hearing loss could have a huge impact on a person's marriage opportunities for different reasons.…”

Method:A qualitative research method specifically, the phenomenological approach, was adopted to conduct this research. An in-depth semi-structured interview was used to interview ten participants. Conclusion:Overall, two themes and four sub-themes were derived from thematic analysis. The finding indicates that social support from family members and people in the surrounding, and a sense of belonging are fundamental social needs of people with hearing loss. Further research is needed to investigate the reasons behind the unmet social needs of people with hearing loss. Limitation:The major limitations of the study were -lack of official data regarding people with hearing disability in Afghanistan, non-availability of sign language interpreters, and cultural constraints faced by female study participants.

“…More than 50% of deaf people find it difficult to find a spouse. Hearing impairments seriously restricted deaf people in terms of their opportunities to lead a normal life, and many had to choose their spouses from a smaller group ( 31 ). On the one hand, there are limitations arising from physical disability.…”

Background: We aimed to investigate the demographic situation relating to people with hearing loss in Xinjiang, the largest province in China. The situation may vary between regions and races. Methods: We conducted a population-based demographic study. We analyzed data obtained from 3931 people with hearing impairments (i.e., from the Han or Uyghur ethnic groups) including children and adults. We accounted for the survey design and sampling size in order to ensure that estimates were regionally representative. Basic characteristics were determined, and an ethnic distribution analysis was conducted based on age group, level of educational, marital status, and level of disability. Results: Of the 3931 participants, 2228 (56.68%) were male and 1703 (43.32%) were female. The mean age of the participants was 46.02 (±19.46) years. Most of the participants (26.20%) were in the 45–59 yr age group. Illiterate people constituted the largest group (34.19%) in the Uyghur population, while a substantial proportion of participants of Han nationality had obtained a junior education (28.98%). The number of unmarried people in both ethnic groups accounted for the highest proportion (more than 70%). Grade 3 was the highest grade observed in the Uyghur population (32.35%), while Grade 1 hearing impairments were the most prevalent in the Han population (28.28%). Conclusion: The difference in basic characteristics between participants of Uyghur and Han ethnicity revealed that different provinces should set different prevention and control targets. Different policy measures should be taken to allocate medical resources and provide rehabilitation services to assist people with hearing impairments in Xinjiang, China.

“…Working with life-course data in POPUM, Haage showed that although marriage chances were smaller and risks of death higher for disabled persons in the 19th century, the disabled were nevertheless a heterogeneous group of individuals with different obstacles and opportunities in life (Haage, 2017;. See also the work on this theme by Olsson (1999) and De Veirman, Haage, and Vikström (2016).…”

The Demographic Data Base (DDB) at the Centre for Demographic and Ageing Research (CEDAR) at Umeå University has since the 1970s been building longitudinal population databases and disseminating data for research. The databases were built to serve as national research infrastructures, useful for addressing an indefinite number of research questions within a broad range of scientific fields, and open to all academic researchers who wanted to use the data. A countless number of customised datasets have been prepared and distributed to researchers in Sweden and abroad and to date, the research has resulted in more than a thousand published scientific reports, books, and articles within a broad range of academic fields. While there has long been a clear predominance of research within the humanities and social sciences, it has always been used for research in other fields as well, for example medicine. In this article, we first give a brief presentation of the DDB and its history, characteristics, and development from the 1970s to the present. It includes an overview of the research based on the DDB databases, with a focus on the databases POPUM and POPLINK with individual-level data. A number of major traits of the research from 1973 to now have been outlined, showing the breadth of the research and highlighting some major contributions, with a focus on work that would have been very difficult to perform without data from the DDB.
