In Brazil 9.7 million people have hearing impairment to some degree (IBGE, 2010). The deaf being is a characteristic that makes up the identity of a deaf person. From the cultural perspective, it s a community that has a unique language, different cultural codes from the hearing community, its own events and conferences, and cultural and leisure frameworks (LAMBEZ; NAGAR; SHOSHANI; NAKASH, 2020). Deafness does not have a visual or behavioral characteristic that makes it easily identifiable, as it depends on direct communication to be perceived. In practice, the market ignores the specific needs of this public which limits its consumption practices. In addition, there are few studies that focus on the consumption of deaf people. This work aimed to identify barriers and limitations faced by two families in Rio de Janeiro headed by deaf couples in their leisure practices, in order to identify how they make their leisure choices, to analyze these consumption practices from their experiences and to categorize them. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with the support of an interpreter of LIBRAS sign language to Portuguese. The analysis of the data resulted in the classification of leisure interests in categories, such as: intellectual, physical, tourist and social. Communication was observed as a relevant component of deaf identity in consumption practices and experiences and accessibility policies must be designed by disabled people of each sort of disability to become effective. This work contributes to the discussion of a methodology of studies with deaf people in Administration, as well as highlights the need for studies with deaf people as consumers.
