Objective. The primary purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between age enrollment in intervention and language outcomes at 5 years a group deaf hard-of-hearing children. Method. Vocabulary skills were examined 112 children with hearing loss who enrolled various ages comprehensive program. Verbal reasoning explored subgroup 80 these Participants evaluated using Peabody Picture Test criterion-referenced measure, Preschool Language Assessment Instrument, administered...
This study examined the language outcomes of children with mild to severe hearing loss during preschool years. The longitudinal design was leveraged test whether growth trajectories were associated degree and aided influenced in a systematic manner. also explored influence timing aid fitting extent use on children's growth. Finally, tested hypothesis that morphosyntax may be at particular risk due demands it places processing fine details linguistic input.The full cohort this comprised 290...
A diverse panel of experts convened in Bad Ischl, Austria, June 2012 for the purpose coming to consensus on essential principles that guide family-centered early intervention with children who are deaf or hard hearing (D/HH). The included parents, professionals, program leaders, specialists, and researchers from 10 nations. All participants had expertise working families D/HH, focus was placed identifying practice specific partnering these families. Panel members reported implementation...
IMPORTANCE Hearing loss (HL) in children can be deleterious to their speech and language development. The standard of practice has been early provision hearing aids (HAs) moderate these effects; however, there have few empirical studies evaluating the effectiveness this on development among with mild-to-severe HL. OBJECTIVE To investigate contributions aided duration HA use outcomes DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS An observational cross-sectional design was used examine association levels...
This document is a supplement to the recommendations in year 2007 position statement of Joint Committee on Infant Hearing (JCIH)1 and provides comprehensive guidelines for early hearing detection intervention (EHDI) programs establishing strong (EI) systems with appropriate expertise meet needs children who are deaf or hard (D/HH).EI services represent purpose goal entire EHDI process. Screening confirmation that child D/HH largely meaningless without appropriate, individualized, targeted...
In Brief Objective: Infants with hearing loss are known to be slower develop spoken vocabulary than peers normal hearing. Previous research demonstrates that they differ from normal-hearing children in several aspects of prelinguistic vocal development. Less is about the vocalizations early-identified infants access current technologies. This longitudinal study documents changes varying degrees loss, compared a group It was hypothesized would demonstrate phonetic delays and selected learning...
This study investigates the relationship between theory of mind (ToM) skills in deaf children and input from their hearing mothers. Twenty‐two mothers (ages 4–10 years) participated tasks designed to elicit talk about mind. The mothers' mental state was compared with that 26 4–6 years). frequency correlated children's performance on ToM tasks, after controlling for effects child language age. Maternal sign proficiency language, false belief, Findings are discussed relation experiential...
Purpose This study investigated predictors of hearing aid (HA) use time for children with mild-to-severe loss (HL). Barriers to consistent HA and reliability parent report measures were also examined. Method Participants included parents 272 HL. Parents estimated the amount child used HAs daily. Regression analysis examined relationships among independent variables time. To determine parental accuracy time, datalogging from was compared parents' estimates. Results Longer related older age,...
This study examined the effects of consistent hearing aid (HA) use on outcomes in children with mild loss (HL).Five- or 7-year-old HL were separated into 3 groups basis patterns daily HA use. Using analyses variance, we compared between speech and language tests a perception noise task. Regression models used to investigate influence cumulative auditory experience (audibility, early intervention, use) outcomes.Full-time users demonstrated significantly higher scores vocabulary grammar...
To document the epidemiological characteristics of a group children who are hard hearing, identify individual predictor variables for timely follow-up after failed newborn hearing screening, and barriers to encountered by families.The authors used an accelerated longitudinal design investigate outcomes in large, multicenter study. The present study involved subgroup 193 with loss did not pass screening. available records capture ages confirmation loss, aid fitting, entry into early...
The primary objective of this study was to examine the quantity and quality caregiver talk directed children who are hard hearing (CHH) compared with normal (CNH). For CHH only, explored how input changed as a function child age (18 months versus 3 years), which family factors contributed variance in linguistic at 18 years, related language outcomes years.Participants were 59 CNH 156 bilateral, mild-to-severe loss. When approximately and/or years age, caregivers participated 5-min...
The objectives of this study were to examine the quantity adult words, adult-child conversational turns, and electronic media in auditory environments toddlers who are hard hearing (HH) whether these factors contributed variability children's communication outcomes.Participants 28 children with mild severe loss. Full-day recordings collected within 6 months their second birthdays by using Language ENvironment Analysis technology. system analyzes full-day acoustic recordings, yielding...
Automated analyses of full-day recordings were used to determine whether young children who are hard-of-hearing (HH) received similar levels exposure adult words and conversational interactions as age-matched peers with normal-hearing (NH). Differences in input between this study a normative database considered. Finally, factors examined that may have contributed individual differences the characteristics families. Results indicated NH HH groups exposed numbers turns. However, both more...
In Brief Objectives: Children who are hard of hearing (CHH) have restricted access to acoustic and linguistic information. Increased audibility provided by aids (HAs) influences language outcomes, but the advantages appropriately fit HAs can only be realized if children wear their devices on a consistent basis. The purpose this article was characterize long-term HA use in CHH, based parent-report measures, identify factors that influence longitudinal trends use. Design: Participants were...
