The scale showing emotion changes has been developed to observe emotions in a short time. In order to cope with psychological problems in their social life, individuals may make some attempts and succeed or fail in accordance with the help of the people around them. In order to indicate how often the problems they experience in their professional lives are reflected in their feelings, they have the opportunity to evaluate their exhaustion status with the shortened form of the burnout scale. In a society where people coexist with burnout, all positive feelings and thoughts about their environment begin to decrease over time. This burnout can be physical as well as emotional.

Looking at the scale showing the level of hearing, it seems that the average of teachers with normal hearing is higher than that of teachers with hearing loss. It was found that the average of individuals with hearing loss with scale scores indicating changes in emotion was higher than the average of individuals with normal hearing. The abbreviated form scores of the burnout scale were examined according to the group variable, while people with normal hearing did not have burnout, and people with hearing loss had burnout status. A shortened version of the teacher's burnout scale can be said to indicate that people with normal hearing do not have burnout, and people with hearing loss signal danger for burnout.
