Using data from 1,003 DHH university students across China, the results revealed that father involvement significantly enhances vocational identity (β = 2.273, p < .001). Specifically, it positively impacts self-determination (β = 1.810, p < .001) and social competence (β = 0.889, p < .001), both of which independently and significantly influence vocational identity. Self-determination accounted for approximately 57.3% of the total mediation effect, while social competence contributed 28.1%.

The experience of hearing was individualised and influenced by the sounds that CYP could hear, the environment, and supportive strategies. Challenging listening conditions and strategies to manage the experience of hearing were identified, which may be considered by parents, practitioners and policymakers.
