Objective: To analyse the understanding of deaf women regarding contraceptive methods.
Method: We conducted a qualitative descriptive study in two referral centres for sexual and reproductive health (SRH) in São Paulo, Brazil, trough years 2020-2022. Twenty-eight deaf women who use Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS) were interviewed face-to-face and remotely via videocall using a semi-structured questionnaire containing sociodemographic and clinical data and questions about understanding and knowledge of contraceptive methods.
Background And Objective: In areas with a large Deaf/hard-of-hearing (DHH) population, emergency medicine (EM) providers may benefit from cultural awareness training as this has been shown to foster delivery of more equitable care in other minority populations. Rochester, New York, has been touted to be the home to the largest per-capita DHH population in the United States. Given the large local DHH community and DHH professionals working in Rochester, University of Rochester (UR) providers likely have higher exposure to DHH people than most other EM providers in the United States.

In the intricate acoustic landscapes where speech intelligibility is challenged by noise and reverberation, multichannel speech enhancement emerges as a promising solution for individuals with hearing loss. Such algorithms are commonly evaluated at the utterance scale. However, this approach overlooks the granular acoustic nuances revealed by phoneme-specific analysis, potentially obscuring key insights into their performance.

We investigated relations between kindergarten precursors and second-grade reading skills in deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) children, and aimed to identify subgroups based on reading skills, in order to explore early signs of later reading delays. DHH children (n = 23, Mage kindergarten = 6.25) participated from kindergarten-second grade.
