To evaluate the audiology knowledge of rehabilitation teachers and parents of hearing-impaired children

and to provide them a basis for the guidance and training.

Methods

2

We tested 3 groups of subjects

which were small age children's parents of just wearing hearing instruments

parents whose children have been completed in the rehabilitation center stage and prepared into regular school

and hearing language rehabilitation teachers. Hearing priority consciousness

audiometric test methods

The level of hearing management knowledge of the parents of the children who were going to be admitted to the general school was significantly higher than that of the parents of the young children(

t

=2.88

P

<

0.05). The proficiency of rehabilitation teachers in auditory management knowledge was significantly higher than that of the parents(

t

=4.60

P

<

0.05). The weakest aspect for both parents and teachers was the basic knowledge of audiology. Parents' awareness of the importance of hearing management and new parents' awareness of the importance of children's behavioral hearing measurement need to be improved.Parents need to improve in the listening equipment maintenance knowledge.

Conclusion

2

rehabilitation teachers and parents who have completed the stage of hearing and speech rehabilitation and are about to enter the general education have significantly improved their proficiency in hearing management knowledge. We should also optimize and adjust the methods and content of follow-up training in order to achieve better results.
