Sports-Related Injuries in Deaf Competitive Squad Athletes—Results of a Retrospective Self-Assessment
Deaf athletes are exposed to additional training and competition in hearing sports. The negative impact of contact sports may be attributed to hearing loss. Hearing aids in training seem to be protective. Athletes should consider supervision by OSP. The results of this study may help to improve treatment and integration of deaf athletes into hearing sports.
