“…1 Noohi et al concluded that, although cochlear implantation in children has been effective in reducing depression and anxiety in their mothers, these levels were higher in the mothers than in the general population even after the child's surgery. 7 2 factors can be addressed in describing the difference between mothers and fathers: (1) difference in attitudes and reactions of the mothers and fathers toward exposure to their child's hearing loss. Higher levels of stress in mothers may also indicate higher environmental demands or differences in assessing their resources for confronting the demands of these stressful circumstances;…”

Background: The birth of a child with a hearing disability is a stressful event in the family. Since consanguineous marriages are associated with the incidence of congenital hearing loss, it is expected that such parents will experience greater psychological problems. Objective: The current study investigated and compared anxiety, depression, and stress in parents of children with severe hearing loss who have undergone cochlear implantation with a focus on the relation between parents (consanguineous vs. non-consanguineous). Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on all 180 couples (360 individuals) who had become parents and attended Baqiyatallah hospital’s Cochlear Implant Center from 2007 to 2009. The participants included two groups of consanguineous (125 couples) and non-consanguineous (55 couples) parents. After providing consent to participate in this study, the participants completed the short form of the Depression and Anxiety and Stress Scale questionnaire (DASS-21). Data analysis was done using SPSS 17 and t test. Results: The participating parents had high levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. Depression and anxiety were significantly higher among the consanguineous parents (P=0.001 and P=0.005, respectively). However, stress levels were not significantly different between the 2 groups. Moreover, compared to the fathers, the mothers had higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress (P<0.05). Conclusion: Based on these findings, it may be concluded that the birth of a child with hearing loss can be the source of psychological problems in parents, particularly in consanguineous parents. Furthermore, mothers are more psychologically vulnerable than fathers.

Purpose: The study aims to investigate on application of ICF framework’s third-party disability in mothers of children with pre-lingual hearing impairment using hearing aids and cochlear implants. Method: This is a comparative study of 30 mothers of children (age between 8-12) using cochlear implant (G-1) and 30 mothers of children (age between 8-12) using hearing aids (G-2) was included for the study. A questionnaire was developed based on ICF-CY version, consisting of 46 questions distributed across 9 domains. The questionnaire form in the Hindi language was provided to the participants (mothers) with enough amount of time to complete it. For mothers who were not able to self-administer the tool, the researcher helped by interviewing them. Due to COVID- 19 pandemic and ensuing lockdown most parents (mothers) were unwilling to report to the clinic. Owing to this, to ensure safety of parents and children, data was obtained through virtual mode. Results: Across all domains, the comparison between Group A and Group B indicates no statistically significant difference except for two domains (general tasks and behaviours, communication). When the total third-party disability scores were analysed, it is seen that there is significant difference in third-party disability scores of the two groups. Conclusion: Findings enhances mothers of children with hearing aids report greater third-party disability as compared to mothers of children using unilateral cochlear implant. Implication: The study included only mothers and a limited number of them, hence generalizing the findings to a larger population may not be appropriate.
