Abstract
This paper describes and discusses the process and the role of the hearing screening of children with hearing impairment in education using the interactive audiometry application that offers the easiest and most comfortable and attractive way for rapid daily (self)testing. The proposed audiometry application looks like a game that enables the effective measuring of hearing capabilities of child patients in home environment. Besides the description of the audiometry application itself, the paper is focused also on the selection of appropriate words and information about the processing of related sound stimuli. This work brings a possible scenario for daily testing using this audiometry application. It discuss also an alternative Ling 6 sound test that can effectively verify the working of a hearing aid. The information provided clearly indicates the need for regular hearing measurements to support permanent education and personal development.
