“…For the explanation of this finding, it can be stated that the social networks of individuals with blindness and deafness are smaller compared to individuals with typically developing, and they have fewer social groups and fewer friends for social interaction and communication (Kramer, Kapteyn, Kuik, & Deeg, 2002). To confirm this, Azab, Kamel, and Abdelrhman (2015) concluded that individuals with blindness and deafness spend less time compared to individuals with typically developing to communicate with others. Existence of such conditions, along with limited access to social services and rejection by the community (Azab et al ., 2015; Coplan, Closson, & Arbeau, 2007) can provide a basis for the development of conformity orientation in individuals with blindness and deafness.…”

The aim of this study was to compare family communication patterns among Iranian individuals with blindness, deafness and individuals with typically developing. The statistical population consisted of all Iranian individuals with blindness, deafness and individuals with typically developing in Shiraz, Iran. The sample consisted of 116 individuals (32 individuals with blindness, 21 individuals with deafness, and 63 individuals with typically developing). The Revised Family Communication Patterns scale was used for measuring the family communication patterns. Multivariate analysis of variance test were used for data analysis. The results showed that conversation orientation in individuals with typically developing were significantly higher than individuals with blindness and deafness (P<.001). Furthermore, conversation orientation in individuals with blindness was significantly higher than individuals with deafness (P<.001). Moreover, the findings showed that the conformity orientation in individuals with blindness and deafness were significantly higher than individuals with typically developing (P<.001). It should be noted that there was no significant difference among individuals with blindness and deafness in terms of conformity orientation. The results of the study indicated that reforming of family communication patterns is essential for individuals with blindness and deafness.

“…Furthermore, it is well known that auditory processing has a crucial role in language development (Moeller et al, 2007 ; Bailey & Snowling, 2002 ) and that school‐aged children who are hearing impaired are five times more likely to suffer from emotional disturbance (Wolters et al, 2012 ). Even slight or mild hearing impairment can result in negative consequences in the psychological domain, and there is a significant relationship between delayed language, anxiety and emotional‐related problems (Azab et al, 2015 ). In the light of the literature, we can assume that our sample has undifferentiated anxiety symptomatology based on difficulties related to deafness, and protective interventions towards children (HL) most at risk during the quarantine.…”

This study investigated the psychological characteristics of online learning on Italian students with and without hearing loss (HL) and on their parents, who were forced into isolation during the Covid‐19 pandemic. An online survey collected information on socio‐demographic data and opinions concerning online learning from 61 children (mean age 11; 25 males, 36 females), including 43 with HL and also from their parents; additionally, school wellbeing and anxiety were assessed. The results showed that, in both the student and parent groups, no significant effect of HL on school wellbeing and anxiety was found. Additionally, in parents, State Anxiety was significantly higher than Trait Anxiety, suggesting one possible impact of lockdown on psychological wellbeing. Differences due to HL were observed and discussed in correlation analyses. The Authors believe that this study is the first contribution to the psychological evaluation of the impact of online learning on families with hearing‐impaired children, from the perspective of a successful, inclusive didactic.

“…Studies prior to the COVID-19 pandemic also reported symptoms of social anxiety disorder in the deaf and HH adolescents. Azab et al (2015) in a study before the COVID-19 pandemic found that SoAD and GAD subtypes of SCARED in children with mild hearing impairment were significantly lower than moderate and severe hearing impairment [ 35 ]. Dehghan and colleagues also referred to the high SA in deaf adolescent in Kermanshah, western Iran [ 36 ].…”

Background Anxiety symptoms have been reported in many populations during the COVID-19 pandemic, but not in adolescents with a hearing loss. This study aimed to investigate the presence of symptoms of anxiety disorders (ADs) in adolescents with hearing loss (HL) during the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020. Methods In this cross sectional study, 56 adolescents with HL (aged 12 to 18 years) including 23 deaf, and 33 hard of hearing (HH) were selected from four counties located in western Iran using a census method. Adolescents with HL filled out the self-report of the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED). Results The results showed that the presence of symptoms of ADs in adolescents with HL was 37.5%, and higher in deaf than in HH adolescents (60.9% in deaf vs. 21.2% in HH, p = 0.003). Among the subscales, only the Social Anxiety Disorder (39.1% in deaf vs. 9.1% in HH, p = 0.009) and the School Avoidance (52.2% in deaf vs. 24.2% in HH, p = 0.031) significantly differed. The mean score of Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, and Anxiety Disorders in the deaf adolescents were higher than in HH ones. Conclusions Our study showed the presence of significant symptoms of ADs in a sample of Iranian adolescents with HL, especially in deaf adolescents, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
