In the cases of deep deafness, these vibrations permits the patient to comprehend the world of sounds through the contrasts of duration, intensity, height, rhythm and melody of the inferior vibrations.

The individual or group ludic activities that are done with these children searches to develop, if there still exists, an auditive remain with which the child can count on, and if this is not possible at least offer them a possibility of getting near to the world of sounds through a place where they can get near to it.
