Introduction: Concern for the hearing grows every day, for deafness represents the most prevalent disease present at birth,
compared to other diseases.
Aim: This is a descriptive study in qualitative boarding that has as objective to investigate the maternal feelings and expectations
expressed by the newborn mothers concerning the result of the ear test.
Methods: Eleven mothers had been interviewed, in an academic public hospital in Goiás, whose babies had presented absence
of emissions in the first test, being directed for retest. The data had been collected by means of individual interview with the
newborn mothers and the following parameters had been analyzed: suspicion on the hearing of the son, knowledge about the
deafness and expectations about the result.
Results : The analysis of the mothers´ expressed speeches evidenced many emotional reactions according to the knowledge and
suspicion of the mother about the son’s hearing.
Conclusions: The deafness diagnosis is not easy to be communicated because it’s a difficult situation and it causes suffering
to the parents. Considering the importance that demands the moment, the family deserves special attention of the health
professionals involved in the process, before a deafness diagnosis.
