ABSTRACT
Hearing disability is one
of the most common disabilities around the world. This disability appears as a
multidimensional social problem affecting the individual directly, and the
family and the environment both directly and indirectly due to the
insufficiency it causes in the individual. It was stated in the report
published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2011 that there are 360
million of hearing impaired individuals around the world and 32 million of
these are children. As it is the case worldwide, individuals with hearing
impairment constitute an importantpart of the society in Turkey. While
generally, there are not parsed data related to the population of hearing
impaired individuals/children in Turkey, it is possible to say that there are
data in parallel with the findings of the WHO. In this study, a general
assessment is presented in relation to the digital data and problems of hearing
impaired children in Turkey.
