Description

Herein we report the hearing acquisition support undertaken for multiply handicapped children with hearing impairments at Fukushima Medical University Hospital and Fukushima Rehabilitation Center for Children. In addition, we discuss indications for the use of hearing aids or cochlear implants for these children. Cochlear implants can be useful tools for hearing acquisition in multiply handicapped children; however, adequate consideration of indications is necessary. Also, in multiply handicapped children, hearing compensation through the use of hearing aids and cochlear implants provides benefits in terms of improved communication, including non-verbal and emotional communication.
