RESUMO
This report is based on the questionnaire responses of 95 young hearing-impaired adults (39 with moderate, 20 with severe and 36 with profound hearing loss) who were investigated in the department of paediatric audiology during childhood. Half of the individuals were educated in ordinary school (integration) and half in an institution for hearing-impaired children. Responses on social and professional insertion were compared with audiometric threshold and educational setting. Results indicate that both hearing level and educational environment influence current mode of communication and use of hearing aids. Familial factors also seem to have an influence. Oral communication is a poor predictor of employment, whereas professional qualifications enhance the chances of finding a job. Obtaining a non-professional degree appears to be unsuited for improving the employment rate of the hearing-impaired child.

Preverbal communication set up spontaneously and progressively between a mother and her child is especially important for a deaf child because of his polysensorial canals. Premature diagnosis of deafness endangers this communication. Different professionals from one CAMSP team along with a mother of deaf children are going to share their questions and thoughts concerning early treatments in the area of child deafness.
