With the development of research on the hearing-impaired population, scholars have regarded "deafness" as a unique cultural phenomenon. The logic of aesthetic education and deaf culture ultimately aligns with the hearing-impaired group's longing for and pursuit of a better life. However, there have long been issues in the aesthetic education of hearing-impaired college students, such as the separation between aesthetic education knowledge and objectives, and the disconnection between aesthetic education disciplines and development. Universities need to address these issues by improving top-level design, strengthening systems and mechanisms, enhancing teacher training, promoting interdisciplinary integration, creating sign language brands, merging various forms of art, leveraging the internet age, and promoting deaf art, in order to establish an aesthetic education system that aligns with the development of the times and the characteristics of hearing-impaired college students.
