抄録	This participatory research explores the challenges experienced by the authors, both of whom are hearing relatives of deaf family members: one is a child of deaf adults, and the other is a sibling of deaf children. We are bicultural members of both hearing and deaf cultures, but we can be considered invisible minorities because our participation in deaf culture remains hidden. This research aimed to externalize our challenges by objectifying our own experiences as invisible minorities. We used collaborative autoethnography to investigate the social and cultural structures underlying the challenges we face. Our autoethnographies show that we face a dilemma: do we embrace deaf culture as part of our identity or adapt to hearing culture and society? Furthermore, the findings suggest that we are in a situation of cognitive incongruity, where conflicting messages from hearing and deaf cultures occur. Additionally, we experience internalized stigma as individuals who have family members with disabilities, which can be understood as structural stigma experienced not only directly from other hearing people, but also indirectly from deaf family members.
