Air vibrations and the absence of hearing does not prevent the formation of the deaf person's cognitive thinking, which occurs through social interactions, or by imitating the signs of an adult. We conducted a search in the scientific databases with the keywords of this research. In this narrative bibliographic review, research in ​​deafness is shown, highlighting the biological bases and the difficulties of deaf Brazilians regarding access to health and education, in which theoretical materials were privileged, starting from the most recent and general ones in agreement with the theme of this research. The analyzed data suggest that health needs to be computerized in the neonatal hearing screening process, so that future actions and funds are distributed to improve the quality of life of the deaf population. These data will only make sense if, after the screening is completed, auditory rehabilitation processes and the development of sign language are initiated. All health and education services must allow access to information on the quality of health of the patient or deaf student promoting / enabling the development of activities of daily living according to the language chosen as a means of communication, be it sign or written Portuguese.
