This final paper explains the possible hearing impairments of children from an early age with an emphasis on the importance of early detection of impairments. Possible hearing impairments are classified by severity from mild to severe hearing loss and complete deafness where the degree of impairment is expressed in decibels. The paper defines the characteristics of hearing impairment according to the place, cause and time of impairment and states the close connection between hearing loss and speech-language deprivation that results in psychosocial stagnation of children. Manual forms of communication are described and all aspects of early diagnosis and rehabilitation are specified. Parents and family atmosphere are the most important factors in the overall development of the child. A team of experts is cited as an essential component of early support, focused on the child, parents and other family members.Through the preschool institution, space, equipment, means, aids and methods of work are interpreted as essential elements of early support for children with hearing impairment. Sensitizing the community of children with normal development and their parents to children with hearing impairment creates an atmosphere of universal acceptance and tolerance. In that kind of atmosphere the role of educators and other professional associates is the key in achieving partnerships and cooperation with parents.
