The challenges of raising children with hearing loss were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews to achieve theoretical saturation and analyzed by theoretical coding (open, axial and selective coding).

Based on the results of the research, open codes around 290 concepts, central codes including 51 concepts and selective codes in fourteen concepts including systemic and religious challenges, couple challenges, relationship challenges, various topics, unfavorable parent-child, thoughts and feelings.
