Technical innovations in hearing prosthetics as a foundation for supporting students with hearing impairment

Abstract

The right to education is guaranteed by the Polish Constitution and regulated by specific legal acts that impose an obligation to respect the individual needs and abilities of students with disabilities. The evolution of regulations has enabled children with hearing impairments to receive education in mainstream schools, taking into account the individualised learning process. Modern technical solutions in hearing prosthetics, such as hearing aids, are essential elements of education. This article focuses on presenting the technical solutions used in modern hearing aids in the context of improving speech comprehension and hearing comfort.
