الملخص EN

The study aims to determine the role of oral-motor training in the discrimination of sounds regarding the equipped hearing-impaired category, which is based on the approach of studying a sample consisting of two cases carrying cochlear implants and a hearing aids.

in addition, we relied on “teep” test specialized in the evaluation of auditory and speech abilities in the hearing impaired.

and through the results after the initial and afterwards measurement we find that oral motor training did not reflect positive results on the side of auditory discrimination but had a role in the improvement of the pronunciation aspect (lips reading).
