Published: September 2024

Hearing loss can impact an individual's mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. This review identifies existing research on client-centered interventions for Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) clients which occupational therapy practitioners should understand. Databases searched included CINAHL, JSTOR, ERIC, PsychINFO, and Google Scholar. Full-text articles published in English from December 2013 to December 2023 were reviewed. After data extraction and analysis, 77 articles were synthesized, and interventions were categorized by type, occupation, relevant age group, theme, and professional performing the intervention. Understanding these interventions will help occupational therapy practitioners support DHH clients across the lifespan.
