In the Tulcán Canton, Carchi Province, 22 cases of hearing impairment were identified in the educational sector. According to the National Council for Disability Equality (CODANIS 2023), the lack of adequate institutions and the limited training of teachers in sign language and inclusive methodologies hinder the learning of these students. At the José María Velasco Ibarra Basic General Education School (EGB), serious difficulties in the educational inclusion process are observed, the objective of the research is to design an institutional guide to improve the school inclusion of students with hearing disabilities. A theoretical approach encompassing educational inclusion and the characterization of hearing disabilities was utilized, applying a mixed methodological design that includes both quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques, a survey was conducted with 27 teachers, and interviews were held with parents and administrators, revealing that educators lack knowledge about hearing disabilities, although they show a positive attitude towards inclusion. The results indicate that, despite shortcomings in inclusion, a guide was successfully designed in three modules: theoretical aspects of hearing disabilities, teaching actions, and sign language, complemented by the use of TIC.

Law 8/2021 of 2 June allows people with hearing impairments to decide on the support they need to live a fuller and more independent life. The aim of this paper is to study the expert report and the models of support for the hearing impaired, to meet the professionals involved and to make proposals to promote the systematisation of professional practice. The method used was a literature review and the extraction of primary data using a semi-structured interview technique with open questions. The results show that it is essential to know the codes of the hearing impaired to make informed decisions. Social workers from psychosocial teams are the most appropriate professionals to guide the hearing impaired in making decisions about the support they need, given their competence in assessing the personal, social, and support network spheres. The research concludes with contributions to promote the systematisation of the expert report and the support assessment scale. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of the development of the mobile application in education inclusion is the transformation of the teacher's discourse in real time, providing a tool that helps in the teaching-learning process of students with hearing disabilities, favoring inclusion in the academic process, improving the access to opportunities and finally, the quality of life. Therefore, the information transmitted to the non-hearing person, each phrase or word spoken in which voice recognition is made, it is sent in text synchronously using a cellphone, offering support in teaching between the hearingimpaired student and the teacher in the classroom. The research focus is quantitative and descriptive - exploration type. In addition, the application was developed under the Android mobile operating system since it currently provides with a free and open software development environment. Finally, it is significant to implement strategies with ICT since it is a key point in the coexistence of virtual society through the ListenApp application. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of the study was to analyze a set of risk factors for the sexual health of young Mexicans with hearing disabilities. We used a computerized questionnaire with instruments adapted and validated to the deaf population. In 112 young people with an average age of 19.7, we applied the following instruments: sexual communication with parents, parental support and supervision, knowledge about sexually transmitted infections and condom use, sexual practices and sexual abuse. We identified a pattern of sexual risk in sexually active young people, with important proportions that have experienced sexual abuse. Low levels were found in both communication and parental supervision, as well as in knowledge tests. Communication with parents was related to the use of condoms and it was greater in those subjects who have not experienced sexual abuse. In men without sexual experience, the parental variables were associated with both knowledge tests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article describes the parental resources that families with deaf children build to promote and potentialize child's development. It is a mixed cross-sectional study. Five hearing mothers of hearing-impaired children were interviewed, including data from a sociodemographic survey of a group of 245 hearing-impaired children from Colombia. It is concluded that by assuming disability from diagnosis, the search for institutional support, by focusing on the capacities of their children, by reorganizing family routines, and responsibilities, a positive look to the future and perseverance, spirituality are some of the parental resources employed by mothers.

On account of the difficult access to education and health services, deaf people in Colombia have a higher risk in sexual health. It is necessary to describe what young deaf people think and know about sexuality so as to guide educational programs aimed at this specific population. Objective: To interpret the perceptions related to sexuality of a group of young deaf people from Medellín (Colombia), in order to provide relevant elements for the design of future sexuality programs for the deaf. Methodology: Qualitative ethnographic study, with discussion groups as the methodological strategy. Discussion groups were filmed and dialogues were transcribed by an interpreter. The resulting discourse was subject to an argumentative analysis and then contrasted both with questionnaires filled out by the participants and with the available literature. Results: Young deaf people learned about sexuality through pornography. Their discourse focused on erotic aspects. Trusting their couple was decisive in using or not a condom. There was some fear with regards to the medical consultation, which is perceived as sexual abuse. Conclusion: Traditional education and the lack of communication within the family combined with the hearing disability make this population even more vulnerable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present study presents a taxonomy developed during a research project in relation to didactic materials designed specifically for the hearing impaired. It also incorporates other resources that may foster the educational inclusion of this group in ordinary classrooms and society as a whole. The taxonomy makes it possible to classify a diversity of materials, thus providing the deaf community and teachers in general with a classification system that facilitates the search for materials and resources. The paper first establishes the theoretical foundations of the concept of hearing impairment and didactic material and describes its characteristics, classification and evolution over time. After investigating diverse repositories and resource banks, the taxonomy resulting from the classification of different materials is presented. We conclude with a reflection on the mentioned materials and how this research was carried out. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It is presented a computational tool based on image processing conceived to assist people with hearing disability. The tool is able to capture a sequence of images corresponding to the gestures the user makes with his/her hands to perform any of the signs used for nonverbal communication. The tool submits this information to a series of processing steps in order to properly identify which gesture is and to present an equivalent, textual information. The results show that the signs for the American Sign Language, the worldwide most employed language and base for the Colombian language were identified correctly and in a variety of situations. Moreover, the tool allows the user to create their own signs, thus being not only an assistant tool, but also a support environment for further research in the area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to evaluate possible differences in visual reaction time (VRT) from the starting blocks in sprinters with hearing impairment, using a visual stimulus coordinated with auditory beep output. The sample consisted of four sprinters with hearing impairment of national level. This device, in order to reproduce the actual conditions of competition these athletes, was placed in two different places for each sprinter, determining two experimental situations: one with the device on the ground and another at 5 m from the start line, and VRT registered had an average of 0.232 ± 0.018 s in the first position and 0.268 ± 0.038 s for the second. VRT was less and more homogeneous when the device was placed on the ground respect to the situation with the device placed at 5 m from the starting blocks (ns). It seems necessary to investigate the development of new adaptation systems that will allow the start adaptation for sprinters with hearing impairment since VRT appears to be affected by the position of the visual stimulus.

OBJECTIVE: To know the prevalence of new born hearing impairment in Colima state and associated risk factors. PATIENTS AND METHOD: A cross-over study with a sample of 1,223 participants from Colima state, Mexico. Both ears were explored in all newborns, timpanometry, otoacoustic emissions test and brain stem evoked auditive potentials were done too, the latter in newborns with two positive otoacoustic emissions tests. RESULTS: In 1,223 randomized newborns (648 females, 575 males) timpanometry and otoacoustic emissions had sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 94% in second test; three newborns with positive result of otoacoustic emissions test were detected, two with risk factor (ototoxics during pregnancy, p = 0.007) and one patient without risk factor. Hearing impairment diagnostic was corroborated by brain stem evoked auditive potentials. Prevalence was 0.24%. CONCLUSION: Otoacoustic emissions test is a convenient study for newborn auditive evaluation. In Colima state, Mexico, there is not difference in prevalence of hearing impairment compared with previous reports. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To correlate headng impairment and simultaneous occupational exposure to noise and organic solvents, it was made a cross-sectional research in 140 workers from a paper factory's with more than five years in same factory job. Workers were distributed in three groups as follows: unexposed (n=43), exposed to noise (n=50) and exposed to noise and organic solvents (n=47). Medical examination included audiometry to look for hearing impairment. The risk of hypoacusia was greater in exposed workers than in unexposed ones. Exposure to noise longer than five years was related to Odds Ratio (OR)=11,85 (1,46-66.57) and a hearing impairment prevalence of 22%. Simultaneous occupational exposure to noise and solvents produced OR=14.4 (1.78-77.3) and 25.53% hypoacusia prevalence. For men exposed to noise and solvents, the risk of hearing impairment was 1,22 times greater than for workers exposed to noise only [OR=1.22 (0.43-3.43)]. It was determined that workers simultaneously exposed to noise and solvents had not a greater risk to suffer hearing impairment than those exposed only to noise. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
