special teachings and programs of instruction, such as speech therapy, audio therapy and
speech reading to be able to speak. By these, they are able to produce speech like sound.
However, hearing-impaired children's speech is not consistent, because there are some
intended phonemes and some disordered phonemes on their speech.
Phonologic disorders appear due to the feet that they cannot monitor their own
speech. Moreover, phonologic disorders is the result of using speech sounds incorrectly
so that the meaning is affected even though the motoric movements can be executed
adequately. Hearing-impaired child may have one or combination of phonologic
disorders types: substitution, omission, distortion, and addition.
This study uses descriptive method in order to find out the intended phonemes,
the disordered phonemes and types of the phonologic disorder. Some theories in
Suprasegmental phonemes in Indonesian language system, phonetic and language
acquisition are used in analyzing the data. Technique of the data collection that is used
here is by recording the subjects' spontaneous speech through reading.
Finally, the study finds that the three subjects' speech development is very
individual and its phonologic disorder can not be predicted There is no general
systematic value or predictable pattern that can be drawn to predict the appearance of the
intended phonemes and the disordered phonemes. However, the hearing-impaired
speakers share similarity in voice-voiceless' substitution, high frequency phonemes'
substitution, and the omission of velar sound.
