The second chapter focuses on the topic of the family, its specificities in both education and communication, as well as the types of institutional support offered to families with a child with a hearing impairment. The practical part deals with institutional support for families with children with hearing impairment from the parents' perspective. The actual research investigation was carried out using a quantitative method, through a questionnaire supplemented with open-ended questions, and the findings and their subsequent evaluation are summarised in the conclusion of the thesis. In the quantitative investigation, it was found that the biggest problem is the lack of awareness of hearing impairment in society, as well as the insufficient education of doctors in this field.
