Deafness in Uzbekistan has cultural and medical implications. In 2019, the Society of the Deaf of Uzbekistan recorded that approximately 21,212 people, adults and children, are deaf or hard-of-hearing. The primary sign language of Uzbekistan is Russian Sign Language (RSL). In most post-Soviet countries, RSL is the primary language used within deaf communities. However, research shows that many post-Soviet countries also have their own language. This change can be traced to different location or cultural differences between these countries.
