Özet

Objective: As a parent of a child whose hearing is impaired, it is normal to feel frustrated, challenged or anxious. However, currently, most of children with hearing impairment can find a remedy for their disability through early diagnosis and early rehabilitation with hearing aids or cochlear implant, and so parents could feel shed light on the disability of their child. Nothwithstanding, the level of anxiety may also vary according to personality and socio-demographic properties of parents. It is also assumed that mothers will be more anxious than fathers, because the mother serves primary caretaker of the child.
