TLDR
Whereas the effect of age of hearing aid fitting on child outcomes was weak, a younger age at cochlear implant switch-on was significantly associated with better outcomes for children with cochLear implants at 3 years of age.Abstract:
Objective:To address the question of whether, on a population level, early detection and amplification improve outcomes of children with hearing impairment.Design:All families of children who were born between 2002 and 2007, and who presented for hearing services below 3 years of age at Australian Hread more

Phonological awareness and early reading skills in children with cochlear implants
TL;DR: Findings from a population study on outcomes of children with hearing loss in Australia suggest earlier age at cochlear implantation was significantly associated with better word reading ability, after controlling for the effects of language, receptive vocabulary, nonverbal cognitive ability and device configuration.

Examination of characteristics and management of children with hearing loss and autism spectrum disorders.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that some children with autism can derive benefits from the use of amplification, and this clinical population is consistent with previous reports.

A qualitative review of parents' perspectives on the value of CAEP recording in influencing their acceptance of hearing devices for their child.
TL;DR: Compliance with early hearing aid use and referral for cochlear implant depends upon parents’ understanding of their infant’s hearing loss by including CAEPs in the audiology pathway.

TL;DR: While adolescent language scores were higher for deaf or hard of hearing teenagers exposed to UNHS and those who had their hearing loss confirmed by 9 months, these group differences were not significant within the whole sample and there was some evidence of a beneficial effect of early confirmation of hearing loss on relative expressive language gain from childhood to adolescence.

Language of Early- and Later-identified Children With Hearing Loss
TL;DR: Significantly better language development was associated with early identification of hearing loss and early intervention and the variable on which the two groups differed must be considered a potential explanation for the language advantage documented in the earlier-identified group.

TL;DR: The Joint Committee on Infant Hearing (JCIH) endorses early detection of and intervention for infants with hearing loss and EHDI systems should guarantee seamless transitions for infants and their families through this process.
