Families with children affected by hearing deficiency may be affected by this special condition of their children. While expecting to have a child with normal developmental characteristics and making a series of dreams about the child before the child is born, the child’s birth as a special needs person causes parents to experience emotional conditions such as disappointment, anger, sadness. Each family has different reactions, but it can be said that they are facing similar challenges. Situations such as creating new expectations for the child, rebuilding the family order and making changes in their future plans come to us as stressors. In this difficult process, the levels of stress and anxiety of parents are expected to increase. In cases of acceptance of their child’s special condition and application of ways of healthy treatment, families can re-ordinate their lives. Factors such as education level, income level, the number of children, the type of disability, the degree of disability affecting families are attracted to the point where they can survive the difficult process in a healthy way. It is also important for parents to have a positive impact on the lives of their children affected by disability, first of all, their own psychological health, to expand their social support networks and ensure that they receive assistance from experts.
