[Explanation] In the early morning of April 8, as usual, at the Comprehensive Service Center for the Disabled in Kashgar, Xinjiang, parents took children with varying degrees of hearing impairment into the rehabilitation center one after another for hearing rehabilitation training.

  [Explanation] The teacher enters the classroom 20 minutes earlier than the students. After disinfection and sterilization, the students in the class will be checked in the morning: check whether the cochlear implants and hearing aids are operating normally, whether there are hard objects in the pockets of the clothes, and measure the body temperature.

  [Explanation] Mirebani Guli is a teacher of "Apple Class", and the students are 4-6 years old.

I saw the children sitting in a semicircle, listening to the teacher's roll call, and observing the children's hearing response.

Play the music again, turn off the music, and turn off repeatedly for the children to recognize.

Then teach the children to practice pronunciation. The letters of the pronunciation practice cover the high, medium and low frequencies, which are very important for training hearing ability, pronunciation ability and language ability.

  [Explanation] Ainul Mijiti's son was found to be hearing impaired when he was 4 months old. In 2019, Ayinul Mijiti's son underwent cochlear implant surgery at the Kashgar No. 2 People's Hospital with funding from a national project.

After the operation, Ainul Mijiti's five-year-old son finally heard the voice. Currently, she will accompany the child in the rehabilitation center for 10 months of hearing and language rehabilitation training.

  At that time, the operation fee was about 200,000 yuan. I thought about a lot of money, and I couldn't pay it, so what should I do? Then the operation fee was free by the state, so I was very happy and thank them very much.

I came to the (Hearing) Rehabilitation Center. The training center is very good. It arranges free accommodation and meals (and free daily necessities). Now my child's hearing is much better than before. I am very happy that I have hope.

  [Explanation] Cochlear implants or wearing hearing aids solve the problem of hearing, but to be able to speak, you need to persevere in scientific training.

The students have to carry out collective teaching in language, science, health, art, etc., which is no different from ordinary kindergarten classes.

In addition, there is "individualized training". The teacher will give each student a one-to-one diagnostic teaching according to their hearing, pronunciation, language, cognition, communication and other characteristics, according to their age, personality, hobbies and other characteristics. .

  [Explanation] Millsman Memetiming used to be a midwife in a hospital. Her hearing-impaired child successfully recovered here, so she applied to become the hearing management teacher of this kindergarten—testing the child Hearing, fitting hearing aids, making ear molds.

  My child was born 3 days ago, and it was discovered when the hospital gave me (child) a hearing screening. Then my husband and I were in a special mood at the time, and we were particularly uncomfortable. We couldn't accept this situation.

Since my child participated in the (hearing rehabilitation) training, she used to say the words father and mother. Later, after my child participated in the rehabilitation training, she would slowly say other sentences and group words.

(2017) started in March (2019) and trained here in May (2019), started to attend a regular kindergarten in September (2019), and went to a regular elementary school in September this year.

The purpose of working here is to help the hearing impaired children like my children, to help the hearing impaired children, to help the parents, and to give them (teaching) the experience of giving my children rehabilitation training.

  [Explanation] It is the mission of this kindergarten to let the children hear that it is the kindergarten to go to school and integrate into the society. However, the love and patience of the teachers for this is unimaginable.

  (2021) This year, we plan to perform cochlear implant surgery on children (50 to 60) in the first phase. At present, the preliminary preparations have been completed from the survey and the docking of the Second People's Hospital. The surgery may be officially performed in May.

Although we look at the children with hearing disabilities as unfortunate, I think that with the care of the party and the government and the support of our aid provinces and cities at all levels, these children are happy.

  [Explanation] It is reported that in 2020, the Kashgar area allocated 130 million yuan to build a support center for the disabled for the rehabilitation, treatment, care of the disabled, and employment training for the disabled.
