ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences of phonological awareness in hearing impaired children and normal children. The hearing impaired children group was divided into children with hearing aids and those with cochlear implant. The phonological awareness assessment tasks consisted of 34 questions with the subject required to point to the pictured word with the same sound. The study subjects were 34 normal children and 31 hearing impaired children. The results of this study were as follows. (1) The phonological awareness was significantly different between the normal children and the hearing impaired children. (2) The phonological awareness was significantly different among the normal children and the hearing aided children and the cochlear implanted children according to the type of group. (3) There was a significant difference in the phonological awareness about syllable structure for the normal children, but not for either of the two hearing impaired groups.
