Pedoaudiology
Pedagogical audiology is the pedagogically oriented science of hearing.
In 1953 (at The International Course in Paedo-Audiology in Groningen ), pedagogical audiology was still synonymous with pedagogical audiology and was coined as a term from the pedagogical point of view in 1959 by the Heidelberg deaf and hard-of-hearing pedagogue and later professor Armin Löwe and incorporated into pedagogical and technical language usage introduced.
In detail, pedoaudiology means early detection, early detection, early care and early support for hearing-impaired children in the elementary sector. Since no time should be lost in hearing-impaired (= deaf and hard-of-hearing) toddlers for language initiation, language structure and language development, the hearing status with the hearing loss must be recognized as early as possible and linguistic support by specialist pedagogues must be started immediately.
It was only later that a similar technical term was developed purely from a specialist medical point of view : pediatric audiology , which was partly based on the expression "pedoaudiology". In order to avoid confusion, experts nowadays use the substitute term educational audiology , which has meanwhile become generally accepted in the specialist literature.
