AB - We have conducted in-depth interviews with four people with hearing disabilities to use the gathered data in better observing and understanding the deaf culture through their family lives. The result showed that deaf family typically consists of deaf parents and deaf children, deaf parents and hearing children and families where all members have hearing disability. For the last type of families, only the sign language is used as a communication tool, and the children acquire the sign language without much effort to learn it. Children with hearing disability who live with hearing parents use the spoken language their parents use to communicate. The major reason for this appeared as the parents' and brothers/sisters' inability to use the sign language. Deaf people do not understand people with no hearing impairment who think deaf people's family life would be significantly different than the family life of hearing people. Deaf families spend a lot of individual time compared to non-deaf families, and most of the deaf families experience increased household work such as laundry and child care once a child is born. Hearing disability also brings difficulties in child's education and hinders children from interacting with other family members during the family gathering and other family events.
