In a qualitative study employing an exploratory design, the researcher explored the perceptions of communication choice and usage among 14 African American hearing parents of deaf and hard of hearing children. Semistructured, in-depth thematic interviews were used with a modified grounded-theory approach in which themes were analyzed and coded. Four thematic challenges and opportunities related to communication choice and usage were found: (a) oral tradition-nommo, (b) sign and oral-diunital, (c) literacy, and (d) racial/ethnic cultural socialization. Afrocentric implications for deaf and hard of hearing children are explored based on research observations pertaining to the significance of the oral tradition in African American culture and the socialization of African American deaf and hard of hearing children in the context of African American hearing families.
在一项采用探索性设计的定性研究中，研究者探究了14位非裔美国失聪或重听儿童的听力正常父母对于沟通方式的选择和使用的看法。研究采用了半结构化的深度主题访谈，并运用了改良的扎根理论方法对主题进行分析和编码。研究发现了与沟通方式的选择和使用相关的四个主题挑战和机遇：（a）口头传统——诺莫，（b）手语与口语——迪尤尼塔尔，（c）读写能力，以及（d）种族/民族文化社会化。基于关于口头传统在非裔美国文化中的重要性以及非裔美国失聪或重听儿童在非裔美国听力正常家庭背景下的社会化的研究观察，探讨了以非洲中心主义视角对失聪或重听儿童的影响。
