Diagnostics develops and spreads according to rehabilitation needs (known for many new methods according to the functional diagnostics data and verbotonal theory, which strives to give interpretations and crystallize the unity. Biological bases of mind and speech are stimulated at the preverbal phase. The rehabilitation of listening starts at prehuman level, at the stage of fish using the whole body as somatosensoric pathway.
