The treatment process is also combined with psychophysical and psychophysiological influences (the method of Professor V.M. Rakhmanov) during which intensive speech training is carried out. During medical and psychosocial rehabilitation, the suggestion is actively carried out, which consists of two parts: suggestion in a waking state, in free communication, and suggestion in a state of relaxation, including a hypnotic state (with the consent of the patients’ relatives and the patients themselves).

Work therapy in action. Little patients are delighted to participate in the cleaning of the institute park.

Observations show that patients with hearing impairments, despite having a correctly selected hearing aid (HA) and achieving maximum speech intelligibility, in many cases, due to a feeling of their own inferiority, experience physical and psychological discomfort when wearing it.
After the treatment and rehabilitation measures carried out, the perception of sound improves in many patients when using a hearing aid. To eliminate the phenomena of discomfort, the psycho-psychotherapeutic correction of patients is carried out.

The institute regularly hosts musical and literary evenings, occupational therapy, which additionally contributes to speech training, the development of hearing residues, social rehabilitation of patients with autism, and the autistic spectrum (circle) of disorders, neuroses, and other disorders.
