Deaf individuals typically are seen through the lens of the dominant hearing society's perception, i.e., that being deaf is an impairment. Today, a small but growing number of Deaf and hearing researchers are challenging this perception. The authors examined perceptions of what components are necessary for a successful Deaf/hearing research partnership, and propose that it is essential for Deaf and hearing researchers to embrace a Deaf epistemology. The authors found that a core category of equity is the key to effective teams. This equity is based in part on the mutual understanding that American Sign Language is the lingua franca of the team, as it provides full and easy access between Deaf and hearing team members. Additionally, a transformative paradigm, as a research frame, was found to be necessary to focus on leveling the playing field for Deaf researchers.

聋哑/听力研究合作伙伴关系。

聋人通常是通过占主导地位的听觉社会的视角来看待的，即聋人是一种障碍。如今，少数但越来越多的聋人和听力研究人员正在挑战这种观念。作者研究了对成​​功聋人/听力研究伙伴关系必需哪些要素的看法，并提出对于聋人和听力研究者来说，接受聋人认识论至关重要。作者发现，公平的核心类别是有效团队的关键。这种公平性部分基于相互理解，即美国手语是团队的通用语言，因为它使聋哑人和听觉团队成员之间可以轻松便捷地进行交流。此外，作为研究框架的变革范式，
