Abstract

This study attempted to analyze the consonant perception ability and errors and to verify compatibility items for hearing impaired children wearing hearing aids and cochlear implants using the Phoneme Perception Test for School-Aged children (PPT-S). As a result of the study, it was found that children with hearing impairments have more difficulty in perceiving final consonants than initial consonants. The hard type of PPT-S, in which the articulation method and articulation place of the target and foil words are similar, felt more difficult than the easy type. Among the initial consonants, the incorrect response rate for aspiration sound was higher. In the case of final consonants, the incorrect answer rate for 'ㄷ' and 'ㅁ' was relatively higher. There was no significant difference in the percentage of correct response rate according to the gender of the speaker. The above results can be usefully used as basic data for standardizing of PPT-S and evaluating the intervention effects before and after hearing rehabilitation with hearing impaired children.

본 연구는 학령기용 음소지각검사(Phoneme Perception Test for School-Aged Children, PPT-S)를 활용하여 보청기와 인공와우를 착용하고 있는 청각장애아동의 자음지각능력과 오류를 분석하고, 청각장애아동에 대한 검사 목록의 적합성을 확인하고자 하였다. 연구결과, 청각장애아동들은 초성에 비해 종성을 지각하는 데 어려움을 더 느끼는 것으로 나타났다. 목표어와 보기어의 조음방법과 조음위치가 유사한 PPT-S의 어려운형을 쉬운형보다 더 어렵게 느꼈다. 초성은 기식음에 대한 오답률이 더 높았고, 종성의 경우 'ㄷ'와 'ㅁ'에 대한 오답률이 상대적으로 더 높았다. 검사자의 성별에 따른 정답률에 유의미한 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 이상의 결과는 청각장애아동 대상 음소지각검사의 표준화와 청능재활 전·의 중재효과를 평가하기 위한 기초자료로 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다.
