[Special schools for deaf children. Their status of hearing, speech and clinical history].

170 deaf school children were described with respect to the following conditions: depth of the hearing impairment, phonic speech ability and lip reading possibility. The anamnesis data were also analyzed. All children disclosed a profound hearing impairment. 60 from 170 (35%) had deaf parents. The phonic speech ability was possessed in an unsufficient degree by only 128 (75%) children. 69 (40%) children passed 3 years of speech and hearing rehabilitation before entering the school. 58 (34%) showed good lip reading ability.

[Examination methods of central hearing disturbances].

The sign of the central hearing disturbances are: difficulties in speech understanding in noise and competing message, ringing in the ears, hearing hallucinations and attention deficits. The diagnosis of central hearing disturbances base on good audiological enquiry, audiometric tonal examination, as well as impedance and verbal audiometry. Two groups of school children were examined. One with audiological problems found in enquiry and second, control group, with a good experiences in school. It was found, that the audiological examination of tonal, impedance and speech audiometry is a good tool in central hearing disturbances diagnosis.

Acoustic Impedance Tests

[Auditory brain stem responses in children with the delayed speech development].

The central transmission time in ABR examinations were evaluated in a group of young children with the delayed speech. The age of these children were between 2: 6/12 and 4 years. They spoke only some words, have a good hearing, good intelligence quotient (IQ) in nonverbal tests and have a good speech understanding. Their central transmission times (interwave intervals I-III, III-V, I-V) were longer than in the normal children. This latency elongation may be the sing of the delayed myelinization of the neural tracts, a probable cause also of their delayed speech development.

[Hearing status, causes of impairment and rehabilitation of the hard-of-hearing students in the elementary school].

The entering to the hard-of-hearing elementary school require some stage of speech development. This situation demands the early diagnosis of hearing disorders, early hearing aids and two or more years of speech and hearing rehabilitation. In the group of hard-of-hearing school pupils the detailed history was taken. The aim of this analysis was to clarify the condition necessary to enter to the hard-of-hearing elementary school. We have asked about the age of diagnosis, kind of hearing impairment, time and intensity of rehabilitation, hearing aids utility and speech development status.

Adolescent

Late subjective audiometric verifications of the early auditory brainstem responses results in young hard-of-hearing children before their speech development.

The authors described the late subjective audiometric verifications of the auditory brainstem responses (ABR) results in a group of hard-of-hearing children treated in Phoniatric Department of Children Hospital Dziekanów Leśny. The audiometric examinations took place after some time of the speech and hearing rehabilitation. The rehabilitation effects make the audiometric examinations feasible. The correlation between these two type of examinations was good.

Acoustic Stimulation

[Do hearing aids impair hearing?].

The authors present a group of 25 hard-of-hearing children being under the speech and hearing rehabilitation by use of bilateral hearing aids 4 or 5 years. Only in 3 children there was the deterioration of hearing acuity between the first (initial) and the last audiograms. The probable cause of these changes was discussed and the review of literature was presented.

Speech development in young institutionalized retarded children under an early intervention procedure.

The author describes the speech development in 43 young institutionalized retarded children under a therapeutic-rehabilitative procedure which lasted two years. Retarded children not following the special rehabilitation program and normally developing children from the same institution were used as control groups. The development of speech in the rehabilitation group was significantly better than that of the retarded group, but not as good as that of the control group of normally developing children.
