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

TL;DR: Children with mild to severe hearing loss showed depressed language levels compared with peers with normal hearing who were matched on age and socioeconomic status, and performance in the domain of morphosyntax was found to be more delayed in CHH than their semantic abilities.

The Influence of Hearing Aids on the Speech and Language Development of Children With Hearing Loss
TL;DR: The degree of improved hearing provided by HAs was associated with better speech and language development in children and the results provide support for the provision of well-fitted HAs to children with HL.

TL;DR: Early intervention improves language outcomes, thereby lending support to streamlining clinical pathways to ensure early amplification and cochlear implantation after diagnosis.

An Introduction to the Outcomes of Children with Hearing Loss Study.
TL;DR: It is proposed that children who are hard of hearing experience limitations in access to linguistic input, which lead to a decrease in uptake of language exposure and an overall reduction in linguistic experience.

Deaf children need language, not (just) speech:
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide access to a natural sign language for deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children to reach their full potential by teaching them a sign language (either spoken or signed).

Early Child Development in the 21st Century: Profiles of Current Research Initiatives.
TL;DR: The authors provides detailed information on current large-scale and longitudinal research studies focusing on early childhood development - the situations and experiences of young American children, including early childhood interventions for children in poverty, neighborhood characteristics and residence patterns of children and their families, the role of fathers in families, school readiness and the transition to school, and maternal employment issues.

Parents' Views on Changing Communication After Cochlear Implantation
TL;DR: Findings that emerged from parents' comments indicated that the change toward greater use of spoken language was child-led and driven by increased audition.

The impact of newborn hearing screening on communication development
TL;DR: Systematic screening of newborn hearing results in earlier identification and intervention for children with permanent hearing loss, and Superior language outcome following newborn screening was not demonstrable in the setting of this study.

A comparison of the consonant production between Dutch children using cochlear implants and children using hearing aids
TL;DR: The results indicate that even after the age of 5 years, implantation can still have an advantageous effect on a child's consonant production, and more adequate than the consonantProduction of HA children with a hearing loss of 70dB or more.

Impact of early cochlear implantation on the linguistic development of the deaf child.
TL;DR: Age at implantation, duration of cochlear implant (CI) use, preoperative hearing levels, age of hearing aid (HA) fitting, and age at time of the evaluation may each be useful in predicting linguistic success after co chlear implantation.
