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.
J. Bruce Tomblin,Melody Harrison,Sophie E. Ambrose,Elizabeth A. Walker,Jacob Oleson,Mary Pat Moeller +5 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.

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).

Outcomes of children with mild-profound congenital hearing loss at 7 to 8 years: A population study
TL;DR: Comprehensive data such as these highlight the continuing plight experienced by hearing-impaired children, and will help evaluate over time whether outcomes for children with hearing loss are improving at a population level.

Auditory Neuropathy/Dys-synchrony and Its Perceptual Consequences:
TL;DR: The perceptual consequences of auditory neuropathy/dys-synchrony are examined, which are quite different from those associated with sensorineural hearing loss, and currently available, and future management options are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment Efficacy: Hearing Loss in Children
TL;DR: The analysis of the available research suggests that early intervention for children who are deaf or hard of hearing has long-term positive effects on overall development and enriched programs provide some children with hearing loss with the ability to overcome developmental lags in language and academic skills.

Universal Newborn Hearing Screening: Systematic Review to Update the 2001 US Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation
TL;DR: A good-quality nonrandomized trial of a large birth cohort indicates that infants identified with hearing loss through universal newborn screening have significantly earlier referral, diagnosis, and treatment than those identified in other ways.

Auditory development in early amplified children: factors influencing auditory-based communication outcomes in children with hearing loss.
TL;DR: Age at fitting of amplification showed the largest influence and was a significant factor in all outcome models, and the degree of hearing loss was an important factor in the modeling of speech production and spoken language outcomes.
