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.
聋人个体通常是通过主流听力社会的认知视角被看待的，也就是说，聋被视为一种缺陷。如今，一小部分但数量在不断增加的聋人和听力研究者正在挑战这种认知。作者们研究了对于成功的聋人/听力研究者合作关系而言哪些要素是必要的认知，并提出聋人和听力研究者接受聋人认识论至关重要。作者们发现公平这一核心类别是高效团队的关键。这种公平部分基于一种相互理解，即美国手语是团队的通用语言，因为它能让聋人和听力团队成员充分且便捷地交流。此外，一种变革性范式作为研究框架，被发现对于为聋人研究者创造公平竞争环境很有必要。
