The objective of the study was to conduct a literature review on the deaf and the difficulties faced in consultation with health professionals, especially the nutritionist in Brazil. This is a literature review. A search was carried out in SciELO and Google Scholar databases. The descriptors used were "Libras", "deaf", "health" and "nutrition". Studies in the Portuguese language were selected. The legislation in force in the country related to the hearing impaired and the Code of Ethics and Conduct of Nutritionists were also consulted. The research showed that studies related to the theme are few and refer to the same problem: the difficulty in communication between the hearing impaired person and the health professional, focusing on the nutritionist. The inclusion of the Libras discipline in the undergraduate curriculum, and the participation of the State as a provider of interpreters and training for health professionals, can contribute to the proper care of the deaf.
