An actual condition survey was conducted based on literature review and a questionnaire survey in this study. In a literature review, the overview and characteristics of the Korean boiler market were investigated and the efficiency of the boilers used in Korea was organized. A questionnaire survey was prepared on the basis of these contents. A questionnaire survey was conducted for 2,250 households in Korea. An analysis was made on the basic information such as the family members, income level, residential area and living floor area of survey respondents as well as boiler status such as the possession and use of boilers, a boiler replacement cycle and fuel expenses. Lastly, the implications for the spread of high-efficiency boilers were identified based on the types of boiler possession and the use characteristics of boilers by housing type.

Permanent hearing damage, which was diagnosed in the postlingling period - prevents “normal” life. Adult, mature people who until now had certain social roles and activities, suddenly experienced the phenomenon of exclusion as a result of hearing loss, which leads in many cases to personal dramas. The aim of the research was to determine the possibility of improving the quality of life of patients with postlingual deafness after implanting the cochlear implant. The study involved 96 patients aged 30-75 years, postlingally deaf, equipped with a cochlear implant. The study used the CES-D questionnaire, the PANAS-PL questionnaire and the diagnostic survey method (questionnaire survey). The results of the study show that in the majority of patients after implantation, there was a subjectively evaluated improvement associated with activity in various spheres of life. The use of the cochlear implant in post-lethal hearing impaired patients allowed to achieve satisfactory auditory functioning, which contributed to the improvement of the quality of life.

Abstract Aim and Objectives: The current study was undertaken to assess the effect of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on cochlear implant rehabilitation of children with congenital non syndromic bilateral severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). The objectives were to find out the psychological impact of COVID-19 on parents of children with cochlear implant habilitation, to assess the performance of children with cochlear implant habilitation through tele therapy and to analyze the problems faced by the parents to obtain the professional hearing health care services for their cochlear implanted children.Material and Methods: An online questionnaire survey was conducted amongst the parents of children who had undergone cochlear implantation (CI) consequent to congenital severe to profound SNHL. Prior to COVID-19 pandemic, these children received regular auditory verbal therapy (AVT) including visits to the Centre for audiological services (mapping and troubleshooting of the speech processor).Results: The online questionnaire survey, undertaken by a total of fifty (50) parents was analyzed. All the parents unanimously reported that COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected access to the professional health care services for regular mapping and troubleshooting of the speech processor and thus their children’s rehabilitation. However, active involvement between the professional health care services and the parents through video consultation and tele auditory verbal therapy has definitely helped the children to a great extent.Conclusion: The present study emphasises the great challenge posed by the COVID-19 pandemic for continued rehabilitation of CI children. To overcome this situation, an innovative digital media to address such medical issues through tele medicine, tele audiology and tele therapy is warranted.
