    Abstract:
    The aim of this work was to elucidate the deciding factors of selection of pupils to hard-of-hearing and deaf children schools. The material consisted of 138 hard-of-hearing and 170 deaf school children, aged from 6 to 16 years. The hard-of-hearing children revealed severe and profound hearing impairments, passed through on the average two and half years of hearing and speech rehabilitation before entering to the school and used continually all day their hearing aids. In contrast the deaf children speech and hearing rehabilitation have had only 30% of them and 60% of these children never used the hearing aids. Statistically more pupils in the deaf group derived from the deaf families.
