Abstract The primary aim of the study was to obtain the views of parents on the role of family efficacy in children's rehabilitation stage through investigation. The secondary objective was to evaluate the important role of family factors in the rehabilitation of hearing-impaired children. The third objective was to explore the willingness of parents to accept online courses, parents' Union and personalized family therapy.This study included 480 parents of hearing-impaired children. The questionnaire was distributed and collected in December 2020. And the parents of hearing-impaired children in the stage of postoperative rehabilitation were selected as the research objects.Although the rehabilitation process of hearing-impaired children is affected by many factors, family factors play a dominant role. In the rehabilitation process of hearing-impaired children, parents need to spend a lot of money, time and energy. At the same time, for the effect of rehabilitation, most parents tend to ignore the mental health rehabilitation of hearing-impaired children, only pay attention to the rehabilitation of speech clarity, hearing ability, communication ability of children. Moreover, parents generally believe that the function of the family is mainly responsible for the children's daily life, and only a few families are responsible for the language rehabilitation and mental health of hearing-impaired children. Therefore, parents' understanding of family efficacy is not comprehensive enough. And through the survey, we can see that from the perspective of parents, parents' lack of professional knowledge, lack of self-confidence and time factors will affect children's rehabilitation process. For the measures we proposed, such as online courses, parents' Union, personalized family therapy mode, parents of hearing-impaired children generally have a high acceptance. It can be seen that these measures can promote family efficacy and improve the rehabilitation effect of hearing-impaired children to a certain extent.The rehabilitation of hearing-impaired children needs to extend from schools and rehabilitation institutions to families to form a more unified and comprehensive rehabilitation system,especially on children's psychological rehabilitation. The corresponding models and Countermeasures of hearing-impaired children's family participation in China are extremely insufficient.Based on this, this study puts forward hypothetical Countermeasures in the form of questionnaire, investigates the recognition of parents, explores the innovation of family participation mode of hearing-impaired children, and puts forward accurate countermeasures.

20 sets of parents of hearing-impaired children were asked to respond to 10 questions relating to the role, expectations, and beliefs of the father in his involvement in programs for such children. Two hypotheses were offered and negated. The respondents did not see the role of the father as inferior to that of the mother, and the mother's perceptions of the importance of the father's role matched the latter's perception of himself.

The relation between play and communication was investigated in a sample of congenitally hearing-impaired, pre-school children. A sample of hearing children served as a guide for the 'normal' course of development. The children's use of their communication modalities during play and particularly play-extension, or the ability to extend beyond the immediacy of the play materials, was assessed. The same children had been assessed previously in terms of symbolic and non-symbolic play activities independent of communication. These findings served as a baseline for the present study. An observational and ethologically-based approach was adopted, with performance emphasized. Results indicated that the hearing-impaired children attained no 'move away from' the immediate play context although they used communication during play. Findings are discussed in the light of theoretical issues pertaining to the relationship between language and cognition, the role of gesture, and an oral-aural approach versus sign language. Clinical suggestions and implications for future research are offered.

This study attempted to maximize environmental language learning for four hearing-impaired children. The children's mothers were systematically trained to present specific language symbols to their children at home. An increase in meaningful use of these words was observed during therapy sessions. In addition, as the mothers began to generalize the language exposure strategies, an increase was observed in the children's use of words not specifically identified by the clinician as targets.

A commercial noise dose meter was used to estimate the equivalent noise dose received through high-gain hearing aids worn in a school for deaf children. There were no significant differences among nominal SSPL settings and all SSPL settings produced very high equivalent noise doses, although these are within the parameters of previous projections.

This paper presents the procedures developed and used in the individual treatment programs for a group of preschool, postrubella, hearing-impaired children. A case study illustrates the systematic fashion in which the clinician plans programs for each child on the basis of the child’s progress at any given time during the program. The clinician’s decisions are discussed relevant to (1) the choice of a mode(s) for the child and the teacher, (2) the basis for selecting specific target behaviors, (3) the progress of each program, and (4) the implications for future programming.

Listening, a significant dimension of the behavior of hearing-impaired children, may be measured directly by recording childrens' responses to obtain audio narrations programmed via a conjugate reinforcement system. Twelve hearing-impaired, school-aged children responded in varying ways to the opportunity to listen. Direct and continuous measurement of listening has relevance for evaluation of remediation methods and for discovery of variables potentially related to listening.

The identification of consonants in a/-C-/a/nonsense syllables, using a fourteen-alternative forced-choice procedure, was examined in 4 profoundly hearing-impaired children under five conditions: audition alone using hearing aids in free-field (A),vision alone (V), auditory-visual using hearing aids in free-field (AV1), auditory-visual with linear amplification (AV2), and auditory-visual with syllabic compression (AV3). In the AV2 and AV3 conditions, acoustic signals were binaurally presented by magnetic or acoustic coupling to the subjects' hearing aids. The syllabic compressor had a compression ratio of 10:1, and attack and release times were 1.2 ms and 60 ms. The confusion matrices were subjected to two analysis methods: hierarchical clustering and information transmission analysis using articulatory features. The same general conclusions were drawn on the basis of results obtained from either analysis method. The results indicated better performance in the V condition than in the A condition. In the three AV conditions, the subjects predominately combined the acoustic parameter of voicing with the visual signal. No consistent differences were recorded across the three AV conditions. Syllabic compression did not, therefore, appear to have a significant influence on AV perception for these children. A high degree of subject variability was recorded for the A and three AV conditions, but not for the V condition.

This study examines whether observers reliably categorize selected speech production behaviors in hearing-impaired children. A group of experienced speech-language pathologists was trained to score the elicited imitations of 5 profoundly and 5 severely hearing-impaired subjects using the Phonetic Level Evaluation (Ling, 1976). Interrater reliability was calculated using intraclass correlation coefficients. Overall, the magnitude of the coefficients was found to be considerably below what would be accepted in published behavioral research. Failure to obtain acceptably high levels of reliability suggests that the Phonetic Level Evaluation may not yet be an accurate and objective speech assessment measure for hearing-impaired children.
