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

Language Outcomes in Young Children with Mild to Severe Hearing Loss.

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.

Age at Intervention for Permanent Hearing Loss and 5-Year Language Outcomes
Teresa Y. C. Ching,Harvey Dillon,Laura Button,Mark Seeto,Patricia Van Buynder,Vivienne Marnane,Linda Cupples,Greg Leigh,Greg Leigh +8 more
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).

The age at which young deaf children receive cochlear implants and their vocabulary and speech-production growth: is there an added value for early implantation?
TL;DR: There seems to be a substantial benefit for both speech and vocabulary outcomes when children receive their implant before the age of 2.5 yr, which may combine a burst of growth after implantation with the impact of increased length of use at any given age.

NAL-NL1 procedure for fitting nonlinear hearing AIDS: Characteristics and comparisons with other procedures
TL;DR: A new procedure for fitting nonlinear hearing aids (National Acoustic Laboratories' nonlinear fitting procedure, version 1 [NAL-NL1]) is described, the rationale is to maximize speech intelligibility while constraining loudness to be normal or less.

Communication development in children who receive the cochlear implant younger than 12 months: risks versus benefits.
TL;DR: Results demonstrated that cochlear implantation may be performed safely in very young children with excellent language outcomes, and language growth for children receiving implants before the age of 12 mo were significantly greater than the rates achieved by children receiving Implants between 12 and 24 mo, and matched growth rates achieve by normally hearing peers.

Predicting language outcomes at 4 years of age: findings from Early Language in Victoria Study

TL;DR: Measures of social disadvantage helped explain more variation in outcomes at 4 years than at 2 years, but ability to predict low language status and SLI status remained limited.

TL;DR: The results revealed significant improvements in communication skills over time in the oral children with early implantation, and the children who underwent implantation before 3 years of age had significantly faster rates of language development than did the children with later implantation.
