Auditory system aiding devices and school environment = Допоміжні пристрої слухової системи та шкільне середовище (2018)
Urgency of the research. The research under the support of disabled children in educational and bringing process are the condition of the subjects life quality. Undertaking in disfunction context they show the direction of proceedings, and help to develop appropriate solutions. In the age of inclusion pedagogy, it is important to widely discuss difficult topics regarding the creation of specialized environments in mainstream school to ensure equal educational for all children. Special attention should be paid on disabled child, where the existing developmental potential can be inhibited by i.a. by perceptual and communication constraints.Target setting.The purpose of this paper is to highlight the situation of a child with a hearing impairment in school environment. We paid attention to the problems of sound reception in unfavorable conditions and to contemporary means of supporting of hearing. Another goal was to make educator more conscious of how they should work with deaf persons. We introduced teachers to problems of hypoacoustic pupils and showed some methods of making their life at school easier, e.g. by creating adjustments of the acoustic environment or application of relevant accessories to enhance the verbal message. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. Technological support, analysis of environmental conditions in the education of children with hearing impairment is undertaken by many researchers. In this work we indicated, among others, such authors as: Marangos, Miquel, Novaes, Manrique, Talaska, Schach, Mildner, Kochkin, Diller, Laske, Veraguth, Dillier, Binkert, Holzmann, Huber, Stecker, Sollmann, Laszig, Sindija, Zrinski. Their research work allowed to determine the impact of acoustic conditions on the signal perception process, including speech. The research objective. The study is focused on pupils with hearing impairment and some aspects of acoustic environment. We analyze means of modern hearing prosthetics for speech understanding. We show the solutions used to improve the quality of hearing. The main goal of the work is support the idea of inclusion development, raising the awareness level of people associated with the process of education and therapy. The statement of basic materials. The paper deals with the problem of hearing loss in the context of condition of society and statistics determining the need for a discussion regarding the school functioning hard of heaaring people. The conditions of the acoustic environment were analyzed, including the impact of: noise, reverberation, volume and absorbency of school rooms, on the communication proces. Means of modern hearing devices have been analyzed in context of the speach perception supporting.Conclusions. The research under the situation of disabled children in mainstream schools are highly connected, even more, are the part of policy of pedagogical inclusion. The special attention should be paid on children with hearing disorders. From one side, there is a technical progress and hearing devices' support of hearing function allows to achieve high level of verbal communication skills, from the other hand, therapists, teachers or pedagogues, cannot forget that those children still require special methods and special environment, in particular, the acoustic environment of school facilities.
