Aim: To assess the effectiveness of distraction with virtual reality (VR) eyewear along with modified tell-show-do (MTSD) on anxiety levels of 6-11-year-old children with hearing impairment (HI) during the noninvasive dental procedure. Materials and Conclusion: Distraction using VR eyewear along with MTSD is effective in reducing anxiety levels in 6-11-year-old children with HI during noninvasive dental procedures. Clinical significance: Hearing-impaired children are usually anxious about the unknown and have unmet oral health needs due to communication barriers. This study provides evidence that the distraction using VR eyewear along with MTSD is effective in reducing anxiety levels in children with HI.
