This paper reviews the development of a provincial program to evaluate and train preschool children with hearing impairment of a degree sufficient to interfere with language and speech development. Problems relating to delay in diagnostic assessment and hence to early initiation of training are described, and some suggestions for overcoming them are made. It is suggested that physicians, and particularly pediatricians, have an important role in the resolution of these problems.

Moderate Hearing Loss

The degree of speech development is not the same as that of hearing impairment and depends on the following factors: the degree of hearing impairment; the time of onset of the hearing analyzer defect; pedagogical conditions of the child after hearing analyzer dysfunction; specific characteristics of the child. Each of the above factors plays a major role in assessing children’s speech. Hearing and speech development in children are directly related. The more a child’s hearing, the more speech is affected. If the importance of hearing is low, then the deviation of speech is not pronounced. If there is a hearing loss, the child will remain deaf until special education begins. With moderate hearing loss, there are disturbances in the phonetic, lexical, grammatical side of speech. Hearing loss can occur at different times in a child’s life. The presence or absence of a secondary appearance of the defect depends on the time factor. The faster the impairment occurs, the more it affects the formation of speech function. In a child under the age of two, the ability to hear leads to a complete lack of speech if speech is not yet formed. By the age of 3-3.5, hearing loss leads to loss of formed speech. If special preparation is not started immediately, speech will be almost completely broken by the age of 4-5 with full hearing. At the age of 6-7 years, hearing loss leads to a sharp deterioration of the child's speech, and without special pedagogical assistance, speech gradually deteriorates.

Cartoon Animation

Statement of the problem. Modern researchers emphasize the need for practical use of new tools, including the use of information and communication tools, learning and development of children with disabilities. One of the growing groups of children with disabilities is a group of preschoolers with simultaneous hearing and visual impairments. With regard to this group of children, the problem field for research is wide, and scientific developments are few. Therefore, the problem of finding means of comprehensive development of preschool children with bisensory impairments, and, in particular, their speech development, remains quite relevant in visual impairment pedagogy. One of such means, according to the authors of the article, is cartoon animation. The purpose of the article is to disclose the didactic potential of cartoon animation as a pedagogical tool in the development of speech among preschool children with significant hearing impairment and simultaneous visual impairment in the degree of visually impaired. Methodology (materials and methods) The research methodology is based on the fundamental scientific work of S.A. Zykov, revealing the essence of communicative-activity system and its leading role in the speech development of children with hearing impairment; it is also based on the analysis of foreign and Russian scientific works, revealing the content of innovative approaches in teaching children with bisensory impairment. Research results. The article reveals the didactic potential of cartoon animation as a means of speech development among children with significant hearing impairment corrected by hearing aids or cochlear implants and simultaneous visual impairment in the degree of amblyopia. It is shown that the essential content of the process of creating cartoons in the joint activity of children and adults, as well as the use of ready-made cartoons, plays an essential role in the complex process of speech development, namely, in the development of grammatical structure of speech, coherent speech, and enrichment of the vocabulary. We have developed an algorithm for the joint activities of an adult and a child with simultaneous hearing and vision impairment in the creation of cartoon films aimed at the speech development of this group of children. Conclusion. Cartoon animation, being a modern information and communication tool, has a high potential for application in defectology. The process of creating cartoons in the joint activity of preschool children with bisensory impairments and adults, as well as the use of ready-made cartoons they have created, is potentially one of the effective techniques of the communicative-activational system used in deaf-blind pedagogy and typhlo-surdopedagogy. The process of creating cartoons can be used as a means of developing all components of speech in preschool children with significant hearing impairment with correction by hearing aids or cochlear implants and simultaneous visual impairment of low vision.

This study analyses various disorders of general motor skills, voluntary finger movement, and articulatory motor skills of school-aged children with hearing loss. The analyzed disorders of the motor sphere of schoolchildren with auditory deprivation are not of a pronounced character but are one of the reasons for their lag in psychophysiological and speech development. The results of studies that reveal specific motor difficulties of deaf primary schoolchildren are considered. The role of dysfunction of the vestibular system in movement disorders in children with hearing impairment has been determined. Particular attention is paid to the consideration of the complex possibilities of correctional and developmental work of educational institutions for deaf children to overcome motor development disorders of deaf primary schoolchildren. The role of complex correctional and developmental work at the initial stage of school training in educational institutions for deaf children has been determined. The possibilities of using computer technologies as an effective resource in the motor and speech development of young schoolchildren with hearing impairment are shown.

Counseling training in graduate programs continues to be underrepresented. If parental queries are not addressed adequately, they keep visiting one doctor after another.Objective. The aim of the study is to identify maternal needs of children with hearing impairment at two stages of habilitation, that is, just after diagnosis (group I) and after receiving 1 to 3 years of language therapy (group II).Methods. Two groups of mothers were asked to speak their queries about aural habilitation of their children. Queries were recorded, summarized, and categorized as per their priorities.Results. Group I mothers wanted to know about how the child would learn to listen and speak (45%), causes of hearing loss (33.7%), understanding the ear and hearing (10.2%), understanding the audiogram (7%), and coping with emotional aspects of hearing loss (5%), while group II parents had priorities concerning speech development (24.5%) followed by child independence and employment (17.3%), schooling (15.6%), problem behaviors (11%), amplification device (9.4%), duration of therapy (8%), future of the child (8%), and questions about how can my child get adjusted to the “normal” world (6%).Conclusions. Culture- and language-specific materials to explain these issues need to be developed.

BACKGROUND Approximately 3 per 1000 live births suffer from congenital hearing loss in India. If detected before the age of 6 months, their mental, social and intellectual growth can be restored by early intervention and rehabilitation. Their speech development and social integration depends highly on early detection of hearing loss, at least before the first birthday. We wanted to screen all new-borns for hearing and assess the incidence of hearing impairment in at risk and no risk cases by using otoacoustic emissions. We also wanted to evaluate the two-stage testing by OAE in screening programme. METHODS The present study was conducted from Feb. 1st 2013 to Jan. 31st 2015. A total of 849 infants have been studied of which 63 had high risk factors. RESULTS The overall incidence of hearing impairment was found to be 3.75 / 1000 births in no-risk group whereas 61.22 / 1000 were found in high risk group. CONCLUSIONS Early detection of hearing loss in infants by otoacoustic emission (OAE) is a reliable tool. It conforms with high precision when done with a two-stage protocol that reduces false apprehensions.

100 children with sensorineural hearing loss, who had confirmed hearing impairment, were examined by routine somatoneurological and surdological survey, as well as standard psychomotor development scales (Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS), Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST), Griffiths Mental Development Scales (GMDS, GMDS-ER) in the city rehabilitation center for children with hearing and speech pathology. Criterion for inclusion in the study were the following: post-conceptual age of the child had to be not more than 36 months at the time of observation; bilateral or unilateral chronic sensorineural hearing loss or deafness and/or the presence of auditory neuropathy, confirmed by objective methods with modern audiological examinations for the core group; the absence of hearing loss, set by the modern objective methods of audiological examination for the comparison group; assessment of psychomotor and speech development of a child with at least two scales from the selection below. The survey results were analyzed using nonparametric statistical methods. Next Bayesian networks were used as efficient, compact, and intuitive way to represent knowledge related to uncertainty. Patterns of mental development, motor skills, speech and social functions in children with hearing impairment were obtained. The technique, which, depending on the factors affecting the trait under study, can help to predict with certainty the likelihood of various normal and deviant development of the child.

BACKGROUND Underuse of hearing aids is caused by several factors, including the stigma associated with hearing disability, affordability, and lack of awareness of rising hearing impairment associated with the growing population. Thus, there is a significant opportunity for the development of direct-to-consumer devices. For the past few years, smartphone-based hearing-aid apps have become more numerous and diverse, but few studies have investigated them. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to elucidate the electroacoustic characteristics and potential user benefits of a selection of currently available hearing-aid apps. METHODS We investigated the apps based on hearing-aid control standards (American National Standards Institute) using measurement procedures from previous studies. We categorized the apps and excluded those we considered inefficient. We investigated a selection of user-friendly, low-end apps, EarMachine and Sound Amplifier, with warble-tone audiometry, word recognition testing in unaided and aided conditions, and hearing-in-noise test in quiet and noise-front conditions in a group of users with mild hearing impairment (n = 7) as a pilot for a future long-term investigation. Results from the apps were compared with those of a conventional hearing aid. RESULTS Five of 14 apps were considered unusable based on low scores in several metrics, while the others varied across the range of electroacoustic measurements. The apps that we considered “high end” that provided lower processing latencies and audiogram-based fitting algorithms were superior overall. The clinical performance of the listeners tended to be better when using hearing aid, while the low end hearing-aid apps had limited benefits on the users. CONCLUSIONS Some apps showed the potential to benefit users with limited cases of minimal or mild hearing loss if the inconvenience of relatively poor electroacoustic performance did not outweigh the benefits of amplification.
