Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the influential factors on the deaf children's hearing and speech rehabilitation.Methods43 deaf children were involved in our study. They performed the hearing thresholds, hearing ability, speech ability and learning aptitude tests.ResultsGender and hearing aid mode didn't correlate with the children's hearing and speech performance (P>0.05). Hearing thresholds had significant influence on the hearing ability (P<0.05), and the speech ability had a strong correlation with the children's learning aptitude (P<0.05). The multiple regression analysis showed that the hearing ability was a significant predictor of speech ability (P<0.001).ConclusionGiving hearing compensation timely and effectively and grasping the critical period of language development to do rehabilitation training as soon as possible are very important to deaf children's rehabilitation of hearing and speech ability.
