Introduction: empowerment is linked to self-advocacy and the learning of both by people with disabilities is essential for them to conquer the personal power to manage their destinies. Purpose: to list the intervention strategies used for the empowerment of individuals with hearing impairment. Methodology: a search was carried out in the Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), Public Medicine Library (PubMed) databases and in the Google Scholar search engine, by crossing previously selected descriptors. Studies that evaluated, proposed strategies or discussed the empowerment of individuals with hearing impairment were included. Results: 186 studies were found. Of these, 18 were read in full and 11 were included in this review. The year of publication of the studies ranged from 2011 to 2021. The included studies discuss, at some point, the empowerment of individuals with hearing impairment, but the minority proposes and reports results of intervention strategies to work on this aspect. The studies propose that empowerment start through parents, in early intervention centers. The empowerment of adolescents with hearing impairment is extremely necessary and group intervention strategies can be beneficial for this purpose. Only one Brazilian study proposed an intervention strategy for this population. Conclusion: Empowerment must start through the parents, right after the diagnosis of hearing loss. Adolescents can become role models for their peers in this regard and adults must be empowered before adapting the listening device.
