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

Early Cognitive Predictors of 9-Year-Old Spoken Language in Children With Mild to Severe Hearing Loss Using Hearing Aids
TL;DR: 5-year-old digit span score was a significant predictor of receptive and expressive language, but not receptive or expressive vocabulary, at 9 years of age, which shed light on the unique role of early verbal working memory in predicting the development of receptiveand expressive language skills and vocabulary skills in children who use hearing aids.

TL;DR: DREAM represents an example of translational science, transferring methods from empirical studies of language acquisition in research environments into applied domains such as assessment and intervention, with the availability of evidence-based comprehensive language tests that measure a sufficient age range of skills.

Comparing Specific Language Impairment and Hearing Impairment: Different Profiles in German Verbal Agreement Morphology
Martina Penke,Monika Rothweiler +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a nonword repetition task and an elicitation task on subject-verb agreement were conducted with three groups of monolingual German children: (i) 11 children with SLI, (ii) 10 children with HI (hearing loss between 38 and 75 dB) and hearing aids, and (iii) 10 typically developing children.

American Cochlear Implant Alliance Task Force Guidelines for Determining Cochlear Implant Candidacy in Children
TL;DR: In this article , the authors summarized the available evidence on pediatric cochlear implantation to provide current guidelines for clinical protocols and candidacy recommendations in the United States, including ear-specific performance, which affords inclusion of children with asymmetric hearing loss and single-sided deafness as implant candidates.

Barriers to Engagement in Early Intervention Services by Children with Permanent Hearing Loss.
TL;DR: Factors significantly associated with later age of engagement, longer time between diagnosis and engagement, and no engagement with EI services included premature birth, unilateral hearing loss, mild hearing loss and not using a hearing aid.

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.
