Gliederung

Text

For children with normal hearing abilities the relevance of musical advancement and early intervention for their language development is already established. Current surveys show special variances of performance of musical education and attract more attention.

Within the general language development of early implanted children the prognoses of the language understanding seems to apply. Children with cochlea implants (CI) need special advance programs for the natural auditory-verbal language development. The influence of early musical intervention to the point of suitable singing for children in the hearing development of children with CI is still unknown.

In a prospective survey, based on the results in the range of the kindergarten for normal hearing children, a concept of instructing the educators in singing with children in the CI-therapy will be realised. In continuing sessions, the therapists and parents will be instructed in using selected songs, intonating tone pitches suitable for children, utilising sound-instruments and including singing in the daily routine at home.

At first there will be monitored how this new therapeutic instrument is capable of being integrated in the impulse-therapy in the CI-centres and how the implementation in the daily routine at home could be realised. The possible change of the speech melody of the children as well as their ability, to integrate the identification of speech melody in language understanding under noisy condition will be explored specifically in a second step of the survey.
