Abstract

With the popularization of cochlear implants, language rehabilitation for children with hearing impairment is still in a difficult situation. This paper finds that there are three major problems in the post-operative rehabilitation of children with hearing impairment: half of the families are dissatisfied with the effect of language rehabilitation, and the economic pressure, insufficient cooperation of the family and the lack of resources are significant; the family empowerment is limited by the parents’ energy, skills and psychological counseling gaps; and on the social level, 70% of the children were socially ostracized and 30% of the families had weak knowledge of integrated education. The study proposes a “three-step pyramid” model to solve the problem of missing the golden recovery period for children with hearing impairment.
