Özet

The purpose of this study is to compare the levels of playfulness and motivation of children with hearing loss in preschool and primary school based on their auditory perception levels. This study included 84 children with hearing loss aged 3-8 years and 50 normal-hearing children with similar demographic characteristics (the control group). The auditory perception levels of children with hearing loss were evaluated with the Parents' Evaluation of Aural/Oral Performance of Children (PEACH) scale. Children with hearing loss were divided into two groups as PEACH well and PEACH worse. The three groups were compared with each other using the 'Children's Playfulness Scale' (CPS) and the 'The Motivation Scale for Preschool Children ' (MSPC). Individuals in the PEACH worse group had lower CPS and MSPC scores than those in the PEACH well and normal groups. it is useful to evaluate the children's playfulness and motivations in order to plan appropriate auditory rehabilitation strategies for children with hearing loss.
