ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the differences of the correct memorization of a sentence with auditory between the hearing-impaired children after rehabilitation training and normal children.Methods Twenty-four hearing-impaired children and 14 normal hearing children at age 3~4 were selected.The hearing-impaired chil-dren were divided into two groups according to the length of the hearing device.The closed-set sentence test of e-valuation of auditory response to speech (EARS)was used.Results 1 .In the first test,the hearing-impaired chil-dren with hearing device 2 to 3 years whose correct rate was 57.14%were close to the normal children whose correct rate was 58.93%.The hearing-impaired children with hearing devices 1 to 2 years whose correct rate was 32.5%were worse than the children of other two groups 2 .In the second test,the hearing-impaired children with hearing devices 2 to 3 years whose correct rate was 44.64% were better than the hearing-impaired children with hearing devices 1 to 2 years whose the correct rate was 22.5%.The normal children whose the correct rate was 55.36%were better than the children of other two groups.3.There was no significant difference to correctly memorize a sen-tence between three groups in the first test,but there was significant difference to correctly memorize a sentence between the hearing-impaired with hearing device 1 to 2 years and the hearing-impaired children with hearing de-vice 2 to 3 years (P0.05).Conclusion The length with hear-ing device strengthens the ability of hearing-impaired children in correctly memorizing a sentence after rehabilitation training.And the content of test affects the result ,it provides reference to the hearing-impaired children's auditory training .
ABSTRACT
Objective The present study analyzed the performances of hearing impaired children and normal hearing children at age 3 on the open set monosyllables test to provide reference for rehabilitation .Methods 30 typi-cal children and hearing impaired children at age 3 were randomly selected and tested using the open -set monosylla-ble test in evaluation of auditory response to speech (EARS) .Results ① There were significantly differences be-tween different test items in both groups ,the decreasing order of the score was tone> vowel>consonant>word(P<0 .01) ,and the scores on vowels ,consonants and words of hearing -impaired children were respectively signifi-cantly lower than that in normal hearing children(P<0 .001) .②There were similarities and differences between the mistakes of typical children and hearing impaired children .Blade-palatals and laterals in both groups achieved the lowest accuracy .While the accuracies on bilabials ,labiodentals ,nasals and plosives were highest in typical children , the accuracy on velar was highest in hearing impaired children .And the accuracies of consonants and nasal vowels on each place and manner of articulation in hearing -impaired children were significantly lower .Conclusion The study showed that the performances on vowels ,consomants and words of hearing -impaired children aged 3 in the open set monosyllables test were poorer than that in normal hearing children .The main errors were between the same places or methods of articulation ,especially for Blade -palatals and laterals .It is possible related to the deficiency of lan-guage input with the hearing impairment and the age with HA/CI .
