Abstract

Abstract Children of Deaf Adults (CODAs) are uniquely positioned at the intersection between Deaf and hearing communities and often act as interpreters for their parents and hearing individuals. Informed by previous research which has highlighted language brokering as a core element of CODAs’ experiences, along with the research which identifies the risk for parentification among CODAs, the aim of this study is to explore CODAs’ experiences of their roles within deaf-parented households and beyond the household, at the intersection between the Deaf and hearing worlds. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 CODAs (Mean age 36.33 years, Range 22–54 years) in Ireland. Three themes were generated from the analysis of the interviews: “It was really normal”, Facing the Stigma associated with Deafness, and Being a Language Broker. The findings suggest that healthcare and education providers need a better understanding of the unique situations faced by CODAs in their roles as mediators between their parents and the hearing community, so that children and Deaf parents can be appropriately supported in their interactions with professionals.

爱尔兰聋哑父母的听力体验。

成人聋人儿童（CODA）处于聋人和听力社区的交叉点，经常充当父母和听力个体的口译员。先前的研究强调语言中介是CODA体验的核心要素，同时也确定了CODA父母化的风险，本研究的目的是探索CODA在聋人父母家庭中和家庭之外，在聋人和听力世界的交叉点上的角色体验。对爱尔兰的12名CODA（平均年龄36.33岁，范围22-54岁）进行了半结构化访谈。从对采访的分析中产生了三个主题：“这真的很正常”、“面对与耳聋有关的耻辱”和“成为语言经纪人”。研究结果表明，医疗保健和教育提供者需要更好地了解CODA作为父母和听力社区之间的调解人所面临的独特情况，以便儿童和聋人父母在与专业人士的互动中得到适当的支持。
