Codas, as hearing children of deaf parents are called, carry marks and impressions of both deaf and hearing ways of life. This article, which problematizes narratives about Coda identities, aims to deconstruct the idea of an essentialized Coda identity, marked by ways of life of the deaf culture and reduced to a standard model, in order to think of a matrix of Coda experience (ways of life-identity-subjectivity). The methodological paths run through five productions on the Coda theme, in which some recurrences of deaf and hearing cultural marks involved in the meshof discourses about deafness have been identified. It is understood that the recurrences order and lead Coda constitution processes and that looking at this constitution through the matrix of experience expands the possibilities of Coda being the subject of the experience. Thus, the discussion about identity can be understood from the perspective of cultural identification of Codas as a group, by situating their subjective constitution in the unique and singular experience of their life history.

Keywords : Coda; experience; hearing children; identity.
