Israel's Bedouin population, an ethnic minority, has a higher incidence of deafness than that reported in the literature, but is not studied sufficiently. A patriarchal and collective society, in recent years it has undergone accelerated change spurred by Israel's urbanization policy. Deaf women are an inseparable part of Bedouin society, but they are transparent and their needs are not met. In a qualitative study of 23 Bedouin women with congenital deafness who participated in the only social club for the deaf among the Bedouin population in southern Israel, these women were found to exist between dreams and frustration, between hope and despair, between strength and loneliness-induced weakness, and between transparency and visibility. Focusing on these aspects, the authors describe the experience of being a deaf woman in Bedouin society. Their findings are applicable to deaf women who are members of minorities worldwide.
以色列的贝都因人是一个少数民族，他们的失聪发病率高于文献报道的发病率，但却没有得到充分的研究。作为一个父权制和集体制社会，近年来，由于以色列的城市化政策，它经历了加速的变革。失聪女性是贝都因社会不可分割的一部分，但她们是透明的，她们的需求没有得到满足。在对 23 名参加以色列南部唯一的贝都因聋人社会俱乐部的先天性失聪的贝都因妇女进行的定性研究中，发现这些妇女处于梦想与挫折、希望与绝望、力量与孤独导致的脆弱、透明与可见性之间。本文聚焦于这些方面，描述了在贝都因社会中作为一名失聪女性的经历。这些发现适用于世界各地属于少数群体的失聪女性。
