The education of deaf students is a theme present in academic debates, being reflected in studies in the scenario of national and international scientific production. The aim of the present work is to identify and analyze the Spanish scientific production from doctoral theses on the education of the deaf and to present bibliometric indicators that best represent the profile of the themes of these researches. From a bibliometric approach combined with the content analysis, the study chose to select the Theses Database and Doctoral Thesis Network, both from the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport of the Government of Spain, through the use of the following search terms "deaf" and "hearing impaired". The following categories were analyzed in the selected corpus (n = 45): temporal evolution, authors, supervisors and their respective genres, defense institutions, areas of knowledge, themes and communicative approaches used in the studies. The results of this bibliometric panorama express a diverse scientific production on the education of the deaf in doctoral programs (n = 28) in Spanish universities (n = 22) on different topics, including those related to the target population of the studies and the assistive biotechnologies, with preponderance of studies in the areas of Education, Psychology and Linguistics. It was verified that among the communicative approaches adopted in the studies preponderated oralism and bilingualism. In the conclusions it is recommended that future studies use different databases and documentary typologies, such as scientific articles, aiming to establish comparisons and to broaden the analyzes on the scientific production of deaf education.The education of deaf students is a theme present in academic debates, being reflected in studies in the scenario of national and international scientific production.
