Summary:A proposal of a performance profile for the assessment of auditory skills of hearing-impaired children with cochlear implants or hearing-aids is described here. The associated tests have been realized either with conventional material or on the Auditory Visual Test and Therapy System developed by the Aachen research group. Acoustic stimuli and answering tasks have been chosen according to the special needs of hearing-impaired children in the age range of 3-6 years of developmental age. Two tests will be described exemplary.
