Miss Jordan： What a clever girl you have ， Mrs Smith. Joan is the first in my class this term.

　　Mrs Smith： Thank you ， Miss Jordan， we owe all this to the primary health care team. We are lucky to have foundout her hearing defect at the age of three . MiSS Hooper waw working as a health visitor in the team. It was she who discovered her defect at her first visit to Joan. form www.med66.com

　　Miss Jordan： I didn't know that she had such a trouble three years age . And she appears quite a normal child with her senses. How could you be so succssful？

　　Mrs Smith： Well， MissHooper did a full hearing test for Joan right after her visit. We were arranged to see several doctors， including the primary physician who was then another member of the primary health care team， an audologist and an otolaryngologist. Miss Hooper paid us frequent visits to support us during that period. We were extremely worried because Joan was found to hav a significant heraing loss in both ears. You know she is our only child and the only grandchild on both sides of the family.

　　Miss Jordan： You are really lucky. And has she been to any kind of school to improve her speech？

　　Mrs Smith： We sent her to the local playgroup run by the Children Fund， a voluntary organisation which runs playgroups throughout the country. It was a desirable place to help her with speech stimulation and she could play with other children.

　　Miss Jordan： Did you send her to a speech therapist？

　　Mrs Smith ： No， she was not referred to a speech therapist. It was thought that， if treatment proved successful， she would be able to attend normal school and would not require a hearing aid……

　　Miss Jordan： I see， anyhow she is a clever girl.

　　乔丹小姐：史密斯太太，您有一个多么聪明的女儿。这学期琼在我们班考第一。

　　史密斯太太：谢谢您，乔丹小姐。我们要感谢基层保健队。我们非常幸运在她3岁的时候发现了她的听力障碍。胡帕小姐当时是保健队中的健康访视护士。就是她在第一次访视琼的时候，发现了她的病。

　　乔丹小姐：我不知道她3年前有这么糟粒的病。

　　她看起来和其它正常的孩子在各种感觉上一样。您是怎么把孩子治愈得这么好的？

　　史密斯太太：胡帕小姐在访视后立即对琼作了全面地听力检查。我们被安排去看了好几位大夫，包括保健队的另一名医生，一位听力科医和一位耳鼻喉科医生。胡帕小姐在那一时期多次访视，给了我们很大帮助。由于发现琼双耳有相当程度的听务障碍，我们急坏了。您知道我们只有这一个孩子而且双方上一辈也只有她这一个孙女，外孙女。

　　乔丹小姐：你们确实很幸运。她上过什么学校学习说话吗？

　　史密斯太太：我们把她送到一个由儿童基金会组织主办的地方儿童乐园。儿童基金会这一自愿组织在全国各地办起了儿童乐园。这个地方可理想了，孩子们在一起玩，有助于刺激她说话。医 学.教.育.网 搜 集

　　乔丹小姐：您送她去语言科医生那受训练了没有？

　　史密斯太太：没有，医生没有建议那么做。当时考虑如果治疗满意的话，她就可以进普遍学校而且无需借助助听器。

　　乔丹小姐：我明白了。但无论如何她是个聪明的孩子。
