Seh- und Hörstörungen

Visual impairment can have many causes and is more frequently found in multihandicapped children. The problem can be located in the eyeball, the retina, the optical nerve or the visual cortex. The therapeutic procedure is dependent on the determination of the visual acuity. In hearing deficits, disorders of the middle ear, the inner ear and the central hearing pathways must be differentiated. The implantation of an electronic cochlear device allows many deaf children to regain their hearing.
