The identity of people with cochlear implant
Čulíková, Veronika ; Zbořilová, Radka (advisor) ; Nováková, Radka (referee)
Bachelor thesis: The identity of people with cochlear implant Veronika Čulíková Abstract: The bachelor thesis focuses on the issue of the identity of people with cochlear implant. It also addresses the views and opinions of social groups with which users of cochlear implants identify. The introductory chapters of the theoretical part are dedicated to describing identity in general. Subsequently, possible identities of people with hearing loss are described, with particular focus on identities of people with cochlear implants. Factors which can affect the development of an individual's identity are also discussed. Both existing views of deafness are introduced, along with the possible attitudes towards cochlear implantation. Opinions of experts and of general public are also presented. The practical part describes a survey among users of cochlear implants regarding the perception of their own identity, their chosen means of communication and their preferred social group.

Technical aspects of cochlear implants in people with severe hearing impairment
Vacková, Dagmar ; Ptáčková, Klára (advisor) ; Hádková, Kateřina (referee)
The objective of this work is to specify the technical aspects of cochlear implants in relationship to their impact on their users. The main contribution of this work is that through the description of individual parts of an implant and of the substance of its operation it draws attention to the impact of its usage on the user themselves. Simultaneously, by describing the current news in the area of cochlear implants it draws attention to the continuous development of this neuroprotheses and its elements. The bachelor's thesis is aimed at the division of individual parts of the cochlear implant and their technical specifications. In the thesis the core of the sound transmission and the operation of the implant and its adjusting are described. The attention is paid to the selection of the users of cochlear implants and approach of the community of the deaf people to this compensation aid. Limitations in the cochlear implant users form another part of this work. The individual theoretical pieces of information are interspersed with testimonies of the users themselves who express their attitudes and experience in individual areas of everyday life. At the end of the thesis news from the area of cochlear implants are stated. It deals, in particular, with the newest speech processors and their...

Soukupová, Lenka ; Mrkosová, Eva (advisor) ; Hádková, Kateřina (referee)
TITLE: Forms and procedures for implementation of the education of hearing disabled children and pupils AUTHOR: Lenka Soukupová, DiS. DEPARTMENT: Special Education SUPERVISOR: PhDr. Eva Mrkosová, CSc. ABSTRACT: My graduation work is focused on hearing disabled children. I describe the methods we can use for education of these children. In the theoretical part I describe the organ of hearing, degrees of hearing failures and defects, some explorations, which can be used for hearing disabled people, some compensation instruments for them like various types of hearing aid, cochlear implantation… Then I describe speech upbringing of hearing disabled children, the way of communication between mother with her child and the communicative technics which are used by hearing disabled people. In the practical part I describe how teachers work with these children, which methods and forms of education they use it and what are children's reactions. KEYWORDS: - hearing disabled children, compensation instruments - hearing aid, cochlear implantation, speech upbringing, communicative technics

Specifics of speech therapy on children with cochlear implants
Leichtová, Barbora ; Ptáčková, Klára (advisor) ; Durdilová, Lucie (referee)
Bachelors work: "Specifics of speech therapy for children with a cochlear implant" engages in the issue of children's hearing impairment and in its possible compensation with cochlear implant. It sets an objective of bringing basic information regarding the cochlear implantation issue and the consequent speech therapy, it presents basic methods and principles of work with children, supported by practical exercises. First part of the work consisting of mainly theoretical information summarizes findings regarding hearing impairment, cochlear implant, the pre-implantation period and the whole rehabilitation process after the implantation, including the consequent speech therapy. Second, research part of the work, is focused on outcomes of speech therapy and the speech development of children with cochlear implant and contains case studies of three children processed using qualitative research methods, specifically the dialogue and the observation method

Integration of children and young people with cochlear implants in terms of mainstream schools
ŠVEHLOVÁ, Tereza
My bachelor´s thesis deals with the issue how to integrate children, young people as well as adults with the hearing defect. Concretely, I decided to focus on persons being provided with a cochlear implant who want to integrate into the regular educational process. The reason why I have chosen this issue is the fact that this is one of the mostly discussed parts of the world including the hearing defects and just the controversial theme whether to provide a child with the implant or not appeals to many supporters as well as opponents. Everything depends on the way how the patient undergoes the rehabilitation before and after the implantation of a cochlear implant. The way how parents co-operate with specialists and the SPC facility (Special Educational Centre for People with Hearing Defects) influences the patient in the social world, education and the working process. I want to present that the sooner an effective work with the patient starts, the easier the integration into the regular educational process is, not only for the patient with a defect himself/herself but also for his/her family and other people surrounding him/her.

Cochlear implant by adult
Kratochvílová, Tereza ; Hádková, Kateřina (advisor) ; Durdilová, Lucie (referee)
Bachelor thesis "The cochlear implant in an adult deaf" deals primarily with the cochlear implant. The most extensive part of the thesis talks about this topic, which also talks about the development and design of cochlear implants, explains the difference between cochlear implantation and tribal implantation and describes operation of implant and the subsequent setting of the implant. This section is also dedicated to binaural cochlear implantation, myths of cochlear implants and problems which are implanted meet. Bachelor thesis further defines an adult age and acquaints with the problems that loss of hearing in adulthood brings, suggests the possibilities of communication with a deaf person and mobility aids, which cochlear implant users use. The aim of this thesis is to map the level of hearing by adult with cochlear implant and the findings of the current problems by adult users of cochlear implants by questionnaire and interview.

Models of binaural hearing
Drápal, Marek ; Maršálek, Petr (advisor) ; Wünsch, Zdeněk (referee) ; Lánský, Petr (referee)
In this work is presented stochastic model of binaural hearing in context of another alternative models. According to latest experimental data on mammals, inhibition plays a role in interaural time difference recognition, which is a key for low frequency sound source localization. The outputs of experiments may lead to the conclusion that the binaural hearing works differently in mammals compared to birds. Nowadays there are a few theoretical works addressing this new phenomena, but all of them are relaying on a very precise inhibition timing, which was never proved as physiologically valid. On the other hand, models described in this work are based on the fact, that every neuron has a random delay when reacting to an excitation. If this time jitter is taken into account and combined with inhibitory signal, delay in the neuronal circuit and coincidence detection, then the output firing rate corresponds to the azimuth of the sound source. In this work it is shown, that such a neuronal circuits are giving the same output results compared to experimental data. The models are supported by analytical computations and numerical simulations including simulation of cochlear implant.

Integrated Education of a Pupil with Special educational needs - Case Study
Habartová, Iva ; Mrkosová, Eva (advisor) ; Ptáčková, Klára (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyse the current situation in integrated educating of a pupil with special educational needs, or more specifically, of a child with high functioning autism combined with practical deafness. Through analysis of specialised literature, the theoretical part defines the expression integration; other definitions include hearing disability and autism as the causes limiting the pupil's inclusion in educating in a mainstream elementary school. The practical part of the thesis includes a case study - description of the pupil's case. Experience is described from the current integrated education in a special elementary school where the pupil is educated according to the Framework Educational Program for Elementary Schools, with the prospective of upcoming re-integration into the mainstream elementary school, or, as the case may be, depending on the parents' decision, his integration in an elementary school for hearing impaired children. In drawing up the case study, the following methods were applied: observation and analysis of the pupil's educational products.
