[Selected problems in the rehabilitation of young children with severe hearing loss].

The aim of the work was an analysis of the causes of difficulties in the rehabilitation of children with profound hearing loss. A theoretical basis of this analysis is the assumption that rehabilitation effects are determined by factors related to the system of care of the deaf child, diagnostic possibilities, and psychophysical properties of the child. The reported analysis was carried out in a material of 232 children aged up to 3 years, treated at the Audiology Outpatient Clinic of the Institute.
