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

Preliminary Evidence Assessing Social–Emotional Competences in Deaf and Hard of Hearing Infants and Toddlers Using a New Parent Questionnaire
TL;DR: Preliminary analysis of data obtained from a sample of 182 DHH children aged between 2 and 36 months suggests that this new evaluation instrument has potential applications in deaf educational practice but further research is needed to demonstrate its full value.

Predictors of flourishing among children with hearing loss.
TL;DR: Examining the relationships among other risk and resilience factors and flourishing for children with hearing loss will provide information for interventions to enhance the adaptation of these children.

TL;DR: Although unilateral deafness/hearing does not undermine hearing acuity in normal listening, the simultaneous use of a CI and a contralateral hearing aid provides an advantage in terms of acquisition of auditory-perceptual skills, allowing children to achieve the basic milestones of auditory perception faster and in greater number than children with only one CI.

Neurocognitive development in congenitally deaf children.
TL;DR: This chapter briefly describes recent advances in early hearing loss identification and intervention, including the impact of cochlear implant technology, and discusses how these have substantially changed and continue to change developmental outcomes for children with hearing loss.

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.
