AB This paper is a brief insight into research focused on auditory distinction in preschool aged children utilizing words with high and low spoken vowels and consonants, by whispered and loud speech, screening with an orientational hearing test and subsequent comparison with the results of auditory perception of high and low pitched tones using a portable audiological device.The issue of examining the weakening of auditory perception as a separate component in the development of children's speech is adressed through multidisciplinary cooperation between the Ministries of Health and Education. The examination of auditory perception in children with impaired communication abilities in Czech and foreign practices is an important part of the initial examination and in counseling centers.The ability to hear, listen and understand listening is associated with the development of children's speech, and later with thinking, reading and writing. Currently, much attention is devoted to the development of children's language, especially vocabulary, its passive and active form of nonverbal, and verbal levels of speech. Studies by different authors, such as [Průcha, 2011], [Matson, 2005], [Mikulajová, 2003], [Katz, 2007] that point out the problems of listening to understand in preschool aged children, and the ability to capture the main idea of what they hear.
