فاعلية برنامج تدريبي سمعي قائم على الحاسوب في تحسين مهارات المعالجة السمعية لدى الأطفال ضعاف السمع المدمجين بالمدارس الابتدائية

Abstract EN

The current research aimed to verify the effectiveness of a computer-based auditory training (CBAT) program on improving the auditory processing skills of children with hearing impairment in primary schools.

The sample consisted of (21) students with hearing impairment, their ages ranged from (9-10) years.

With an average age (9 years and 5 months) and a standard deviation of 0.219, they were randomly divided into two groups : an experimental group with (11) students (6 males, 5 females), and a control group (10) student (6 males, 4 females).

An electronic diagnostic battery was prepared to measure auditory processing skills : phonological awareness, auditory discrimination, auditory memory, sequential auditory memory, auditory comprehension, and auditory attention.

A computer-based auditory training program has also been developed to train auditory processing skills.

The results concluded that there were statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups in the post test of auditory processing skills in favor of the experimental group, it, also, indicated that there were statistically significant differences between the pre and post-test of the experimental group in favor of the post test.

These results indicate the positive effect of the CBAT program on improving the auditory processing skills of children with hearing impairment in primary schools.
