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

Predictors of Early Reading Skill in 5‐Year‐Old Children With Hearing Loss Who Use Spoken Language
TL;DR: The relationship between PA and reading was specific to reading and did not generalize to another academic ability, math reasoning, and a range of demographic variables, including gender, degree of hearing loss, communication mode, type of sensory device, age at fitting of sensory devices, and level of maternal education.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for the benefits of early HA fitting and early CI for improving children’s outcomes and earlier CI switch-on and higher non-verbal ability were associated with better outcomes in most domains.

TL;DR: Very limited, and hence insufficient, high-quality evidence exists to determine whethersign language in combination with oral language is more effective than oral language therapy alone, and more research is needed to supplement the evidence base.

TL;DR: It is indicated that approximately 65% of children in the study had adequate aided audibility of speech and stable hearing during the study period, and limited audibility was associated with greater degrees of hearing loss and larger deviations from prescriptive targets.

What can we expect of normally-developing children implanted at a young age with respect to their auditory, linguistic and cognitive skills?
Astrid Van Wieringen,Jan Wouters +1 more
TL;DR: This paper summarizes what the authors can expect of normally developing children with CI(s) with regard to spoken language, bilateral and binaural auditory perception, speech perception and cognitive skills and discusses technical and non-technical issues which should be considered in the future.

Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test
TL;DR: The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) as discussed by the authors is an individually administered, norm-referenced test of single-word receptive (or hearing) vocabulary.

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.
