Deaf basketball is basketball played by deaf and hard-of-hearing athletes under standard basketball rules, with adaptations such as visual signals (like flashing lights) instead of whistles to indicate stoppages of play. It is contested internationally at events like the Deaflympics, organized under bodies affiliated with the International Committee of Sports for the Deaf. It gives deaf athletes a competitive outlet in a mainstream sport while accommodating their communication needs.
