It is through hearing that oral communication is normally acquired. Diseases during pregnancy, ear infections, indiscriminate use of medications, exposure to intense noise and others can cause hearing changes, compromising communication and the individual's quality of life.

​

After correct detection, the individual is advised to use Sound Amplification Devices (ISAA) or Cochlear Implants (CI) to improve or/and restore hearing. However, after placing such equipment, it is necessary for the person to relearn how to hear and understand sounds - which varies from case to case, not all of them -, requiring the stimulation of auditory and processing skills.
