Abstract
The authors observed on a case of a 21 year old male, who was found deaf when he was 3 year of age and was given a early speech therapy with hearing aid and lip reading. 1) By the pure tone audiometry his air conduction hearing was 81db in the left ear and was 86db in the right ear. Bone conduction were all scaled out.2) The results of articulation test in pronounciation were 84.3% and lip reading ability were 46% in case of help of the hearing aid and lip reading method, these results show twice as good percent as the deaf who was given the lip reading training only. 3) From these observations, the authors believe that the hearing aid is nessessary in the early speech therapy upon the congenital deaf child, regardless of the type and degree of the deafness.
