Audism has been identified as a structural issue within healthcare systems, where deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals often face barriers to effective communication and equitable treatment.Mairson, T. M., & Howe, E. (2024). Addressing Structural Audism in Medicine: How Those Who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing are Marginalized in Healthcare. ''Psychiatry'', 87(1), 2–6. These barriers may include a lack of qualified sign language interpreters, reliance on inadequate communication methods such as written notes, and limited provider training in Deaf culture and communication needs.Mairson, T. M., & Howe, E. (2024). Addressing Structural Audism in Medicine: How Those Who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing are Marginalized in Healthcare. ''Psychiatry'', 87(1), 2–6. |

Such conditions can contribute to disparities in diagnosis, treatment, and overall health outcomes, including misunderstandings of symptoms and delays in care.Mairson, T. M., & Howe, E. (2024).

Scholars argue that these challenges reflect broader patterns of structural audism, in which healthcare institutions prioritize hearing norms and fail to adequately accommodate diverse communication needs.Mairson, T. M., & Howe, E. (2024). Addressing Structural Audism in Medicine: How Those Who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing are Marginalized in Healthcare. ''Psychiatry'', 87(1), 2–6. In response, researchers have called for systemic changes, including improved interpreter access, increased cultural competency training for healthcare professionals, and policy reforms aimed at ensuring equitable care for deaf and hard-of-hearing patients.Mairson, T.
