“…Common root causes can include age, medical problems, and prolonged exposure to loud noises. 6 Hearing plays a central role in daily interaction with other people, and hearing impairments can lead to intense feelings of isolation, shame, and guilt, and can trigger crisis and grief reactions. 7 Previous studies describe that hearing-impaired and deaf people's perceptions of their contact with healthcare and medical care as being complex, for example, when names are called out in waiting rooms verbally, and where people are only able to independently contact healthcare services via telephone.…”

People with impaired hearing or deafness often perceive communication barriers when and participating in their daily lives, such as when contacting primary healthcare, leading to a risk of them using emergency services for less urgent conditions. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to describe the perceptions of individuals with hearing impairments and deafness in relation to the treatment and communication they received from primary healthcare professionals. The study employed a mixed-methods design, and the data comprised questionnaire responses from 101 individuals with hearing impairments or deafness, including 11 open-ended questions, analyzed with conventional content analysis. The study was evaluated using the COREQ checklist and the GRAMMS guidelines to further improve the transparency of the research. The results indicate that healthcare professionals who are responsive, considerate, and respectful regarding communication were perceived among people with hearing impairments or deafness to be professionals. The ideal healthcare encounter for people with hearing impairments or deafness would be where the healthcare professionals could perform sign language, which would allow the healthcare professional to communicate freely. Healthcare professionals need more knowledge about how they can best meet, care for, and communicate with individuals with hearing impairments or deafness.
