Abstract

Relevance. The root of the tongue works reflexively, doing its job perfectly, and if you try to keep it up all the time, the muscles that should only participate in the swallowing process will strain.  In hearing-impaired children, the tongue is usually located low, due to a myofunctional disorder of the tongue. Many children with hearing impairments experience dry mouth. If you raise your tongue to the roof of your mouth, you will find that salivation will increase. There is a sensitive area in the front of the palate (Spot palatino). It sends a signal to the brain through the nasolabial nerve. This is enough to activate the swallowing reflex and increase the amount of saliva. With a simple action, you will start the process of frequent swallowing, which will be more effective than straining the root of the tongue.
