Laryngological and Audiological Determinants of the Well-being of Children with Desonorization

The paper presents the results of the author’s research on desonorization in dyslalia concerning the laryngological determinants of the well-being of children with impaired realization of voicing of obstruent phonemes. The research material comes from 30 subjects with desonorization between 4.7 and 17.8 years of age. On the basis of laryngological examinations it was found that the majority of children with desonorization require specialist medical care due to anomalies within the Waldeyer tonsillar ring that imply otological and audiological problems. The conducted studies show that a necessary condition for diagnostic-therapeutic management in cases of desonorization disorders is laryngological examination and specialist treatment.

The study was funded from science budget allocations in 2010–2013 as a research project no. N N104 084639. Project manager: Lilianna Konopska.
