The paper was inspired by the hitherto published results concerning provision of ecient assistance to visually impaired persons by means of acoustic and vibratory signals. The aim of the auditory training is to shorten the time necessary for execution of auditory information processing, sensibilize blind persons to dierences in sounds and teach them to focus auditory attention on small dierences in parameters of acoustic waves, in order to achieve independent and correct interpretation of environment by hearing and listening. The basic concept of the auditory training addressed to blind or visually impaired children and teenagers is presented in detail. Preliminary verication of the eectiveness of training of young adults without vision impairments has not shown statistically signicant dierences in performance before and after the training. Possible reasons for such an eect are pointed out and solutions are suggested.
