360 million people in the world suffer from disabling hearing loss, of which 32 million children. First of all, hearing loss affects a person’s ability to communicate with other people. In children with an unresolved hearing loss problem, there is often a delay in the development of conversational speech. Thanks to transformations in various areas of life activity, a unique opportunity has appeared for patients, in addition to hearing aids, to install a cochlear implant. And it allows patients with hearing loss to fully develop and actively participate in society, allows the child to hear the world. In Kazakhstan, the program of cochlear implantation has been implemented since 2007. Cochlear implantation affects not only the ability to hear, understand and reproduce speech, but also affects the social aspects of people's lives, such as self-esteem, emotional and social functioning, and others.
