Abstract:
From the psychological point of view hearing is an essential sensory
modality for the human species, because it contributes to the formation of the first
relational connections and emotions. It is important to make a diagnosis early to
intervene and limit negative effects. Deafness is a particular phenomenon (onset,
types), in this paper we undertake a thorough descriptive analysis on all aspects of
deafness, in particular the use of a prosthetic device known as cochlear implant. We
have deepened personality variables in a single case with the use of Rorschach Test and
Draw-a-person-Test. We aimed to study, with the clinical interpretation of instruments,
which personality variables could be involved in hearing loss condition and Cochlear
Implant (CI). This observational study highlights the psychological dynamics that
should be taken into account by operators team, in order to improve the quality of life
of these patients and increase their long-term therapeutic outcome.
