Congenital hearing impairment can be caused maternal infections such as rubella, cytomegalovirus or herpes simplex virus; prematurity; low birth weight, complications associated with the Rhesus (Rh) factor in the blood maternal and toxemia during pregnancy (Samdi et al, 2019). Acquired HI may be the result of an illness or injury such as perforations of the eardrum are usually due to untreated ear infections as otitis media (very common in children), certain drugs as antibiotics, chemotherapy drugs, head injury, tumor, foreign bodies in the ear canal can block the passage of sound and blockage in the middle ear is most common cause of hearing impairment (World Health Organization (WHO), 2020).…”

Background: Childhood hearing impairment is a significant cause of disability and affects not only the language development of the child but also, can affect in child's social, emotional, cognitive and educational development. As well, hearing impairment can increase the negative attitude and burnout of their mothers. Aim: This study was carried out to assess the effect of empowerment program on reducing burnout for mothers having children suffering from hearing impairment. Research Design: A quasi-experimental research design was used. Setting: The study was conducted at the Hearing and Speech Institute in Embaba, Nile Corniche, Cairo, Egypt. Sample: A purposive sample composed of 220 mothers having children with hearing impairment. Tools: Four tools were used in this study: Tool one: An interview questionnaire which consisted of the following: Part I: a) Characteristics of studied mothers. b) Characteristics of studied children. c) Past and present medical history of child and family. Part II: Mothers' knowledge about hearing impairment. Tool II: Mothers' Attitude Likert Scale regarding their children with hearing impairment. Tool III: Mothers' Reported Practice Likert Scale. Tool IV: Mothers' Burnout regarding their children with hearing impairment. Results:The current study revealed that, 61.4% of studied mothers had poor knowledge, 58.2% of them had a negative attitude, 61.8% of them had inadequate reported practices and 69.1% of studied mothers had high burnout regarding hearing impairment at preprogram, which changed to 87.3% of them had good knowledge, 85% of them changed to positive attitude, 86.4% of them had adequate reported practices and 74.1% changed to low burnout at post program. Conclusion: The empowerment program improved the studied mothers' good knowledge, positive attitude, adeq uate reported practices and decreased mothers' burnout about hearing impairment of their children. As well, there were negative correlations between mothers' total burnout, knowledge, attitude and reported practices about hearing impairment. Recommendations: Mothers of children with hearing impairment should be provided with continuous workshops about hearing impairment and its management. Children suffering from hearing impairment should have periodical hearing assessment.
