Purpose: To explore the relationship between meaning in life and suicidal ideation in hearingimpaired
college students and the mediating role of self-esteem. Methods: By combining convenience
sampling with snowball sampling method, hearing-impaired college students were invited to participate
in online questionnaire survey. Results: The meaning in life and self-esteem of hearing-impaired college
students were in the middle level, and suicidal ideation was low; The suicidal ideation of female students
was significantly higher than that of male students; There was a significant positive correlation between
meaning in life and self-esteem, and a significant negative correlation between meaning in life and suicidal
ideation; There was also a significant negative correlation between self-esteem and suicidal ideation; Selfesteem
plays a partial mediating role in the influence of meaning in life on suicidal ideation of hearingimpaired
