| Description |
This presentation will describe longitudinal results from the Outcomes of Children with Hearing Loss study, with emphasis on three major factors found to influence children’s auditory-linguistic access and outcomes: 1) audibility of speech with hearing aids, 2) consistency and duration of hearing aid use, and 3) characteristics of caregivers’ language input. Risk and protective factors that influence a range of developmental outcomes in children who are hard of hearing will be described. This course is presented in partnership with American Auditory Society.
