The author discusses the issues of cochlear implantation, rehabilitation and training to work with children with cochlear implants in modern conditions, and presents statistical data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, main aspects of the detection of hearing loss at various stages, the occasional development and the modern method of hearing aids (slime implantation). The article describes the main indicators of hearing development in a child after grafting an implant and the significance of a complex approach to rehabilitation, an important element of which is the training of a specialist. The author draws attention to the fact that in Ukraine the number of users of cochlear implants is increasing year by year. However, the training of specialists to work with this category of children is not true, but in the process of teaching deaf educators, it is still treated confidentially. Therefore, with the support of a non-governmental organization, the project “Rehabilitation of persons with cochlear implants in Ukraine” was created, the aim of which is to train specialists to work with such children. Today, about 500 specialists receive knowledge in this district. The importance and finality of the implementation of correctional programs in the process of slime implantation, treatment of methodical treatments for specialists and relatives, and literature on the direction of educators and educators were also emphasized.
