Abstract
The contemporary approach to education and rehabilitation of the hearing impaired and deaf includes the application of different assistant technologies. One of the leading technologies included in the first 100 inventions of the 20th century is cochlear implantation. This process begins with chirurgical intervention of placing the cochlear implant into the inner ear of a deaf or hearing impaired individual which is followed by a period of rehabilitation aimed at achieving optimal educational potentials of implanted persons and complete integration into society. The aim of our research is examination of the effects of cochlear implantation on education of deaf and hearing impaired individuals. These effects will be examined through three main areas which are essential for successful functioning of deaf and hearing impaired: the area of basic skills affected by impairment of hearing (hearing, speech, language and communication), the area of educational abilities (basic school skills such as reading, writing, criteria knowledge tests) and the area of social competence (functioning in the closer and wider social environment). Based on the data received in these areas, we will aim to create clearly defined criteria for the process of education of this population.
