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

Does parental experience of the diagnosis and intervention process differ for children with auditory neuropathy

Oral Language Performance of Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Students in Mainstream Schools.
TL;DR: The issues of a relatively late diagnosis and device fitting, as well as the very poor oral language outcomes, strongly emphasize the need for policy makers to reconsider the existing educational approaches and support for deaf or hard-of-hearing children.

Psychosocial functioning, emotion understanding and social skills in hard of hearing preschool children
TL;DR: This study compared psychosocial functioning in thirty-five 4–5-year olds with hearing aids to that of 180 typically hearing children, and found female gender and early detection of hearing loss predicted better psychossocial functioning among children with hearing loss, whereas vocabulary and degree of Hearing loss did not.

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.
