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.

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 intervention after universal neonatal hearing screening: impact on outcomes.
TL;DR: Children who were early-identified and had early initiation of intervention services (within the first year of life) had significantly better vocabulary, general language abilities, speech intelligibility and phoneme repertoires, syntax as measured by mean length of utterance, social-emotional development, parental bonding, and parental grief resolution.

Long-term outcomes of cochlear implantation in the preschool years: from elementary grades to high school.
TL;DR: Early cochlear implantation had a long-term positive impact on auditory and verbal development, but did not result in age-appropriate reading levels in high school for the majority of students.

Maternal attitudes and knowledge of child-rearing : Associations with family and child outcomes
TL;DR: Maternal characteristics were associated with both maternal knowledge and maternal behavior, and a measure of neonatal health status was shown to be significantly associated with cognitive outcome in the African-American subgroup at 24 and 36 months.

An exploratory look at pediatric cochlear implantation: is earliest always best?
TL;DR: The results suggest that there is a sensitive period for spoken language during the first 4 yrs of life, but not necessarily for word recognition development during the same period.
