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

Major findings of the LOCHI study on children at 3 years of age and implications for audiological management

TL;DR: Although prescription did not have a significant effect on outcomes, its influence on loudness and hearing aid safety has implications for management.

Development of Phonological, Lexical, and Syntactic Abilities in Children With Cochlear Implants Across the Elementary Grades.
TL;DR: Congenital hearing loss puts children at continued risk of language deficits, especially for phonologically based skills, and two interventions appear to ameliorate that risk are providing a period of bimodal stimulation and strong literacy instruction.

Children With Mild Bilateral and Unilateral Hearing Loss: Parents’ Reflections on Experiences and Outcomes
Elizabeth M. Fitzpatrick,Elizabeth M. Fitzpatrick,Viviane Grandpierre,Andrée Durieux-Smith,Isabelle Gaboury,Doug Coyle,Eunjung Na,Nusaiba Sallam +7 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that parents need specific guidance about the need for hearing aids and the potential impact of hearing loss on their child's development, particularly at later ages.

TL;DR: Speech perception in children with hearing loss can be enhanced by improving their language abilities, and early age at cochlear implantation was also associated with better outcomes.

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.
