Factors Affecting Communication Author: Amirabbas Ebrahimi/ MSc in Audiology/ Lecturer at University of Applied Science and Technology The development of speech perception abilities in children with hearing impairment is a difficult and complex task that depends on the successful interaction of numerous variables. Managing the rest of the essential communication chain, including the efficient use of available speech perception aids (for example, amplification devices), the precise elimination of factors that could potentially cause distraction, and the creative application of materials, methods, and strategies, is largely up to you. Classroom Environment Auditory Factors Noise1 and reverberation2 near the hearing aid microphone (or cochlear implant) can have a very detrimental effect on speech communication. Structure and Content of the Message For the teacher, the choice of the speech message can be heavily influenced by the visual/auditory perception of speech by the child with hearing impairment. Therefore, the structure and content of speech messages, especially for a child with hearing impairment and incomplete linguistic knowledge, can cause a discrepancy between auditory perception and cognitive confusion (up to 100 percent). Clarity strategies that teachers frequently use include: repetition or exaggeration of all or part of a sentence, changing the vocabulary or language, and using information that may be provided through speech, writing, or tangible objects (Table 3).
