This paper compares language development and speech perception of children with bimodal fitting ( a cochlear implant in one ear and a hearing aid in the opposite ear) or bilateral cochlear implantation
Cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) reveal changes in audibility with nonlinear frequency compression in hearing aids for children: clinical implications
(Seminars in Hearing, Oct 2015)
Children with hearing loss are detected soon after birth via newborn hearing screening. Procedures for early hearing assessment and hearing aid fitting are well-established, but methods for evaluating the effectiveness of ...
A comparison of NAL and DSL prescriptive methods for paediatric hearing-aid fitting: Predicted speech intelligibility and loudness
(2013)
OBJECTIVE—To examine the impact of prescription on predicted speech intelligibility and
loudness for children.
DESIGN—A between-group comparison of Speech Intelligibility Index (SII) and loudness, based
on hearing aids ...
Factors influencing speech perception in noise for 5-yearold children using hearing aids or cochlear implants
(International Journal of Audiology, 2017)
Objective: We investigated the factors influencing speech perception in babble for 5-year-old
children with hearing loss who were using hearing aids (HAs) or cochlear implants (CIs).

Hearing Aid fitting and developmental outcomes of children fit according to either the NAL or DSL prescription : fit-to-target, audibility, speech and language abilities
(International Journal of Audiology, 2017)
Objective: This study compared hearing aid (HA) fitting outcomes and developmental
outcomes of children with hearing loss at 5 years of age.
Design and study sample: HA settings of 232 children that were fit according ...

Outcomes of Early- and Late-identified Children at 3 Years of Age: Findings from a Prospective Population-based Study
(2013)
Objectives—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 ...
A randomized controlled comparison of NAL and DSL prescriptions for young children: Hearing-aid characteristics and performance outcomes at three years of age
(2013)
Objective—To determine the influence of choice of prescription and other child-, family- and
intervention-related factors on speech, language, and functional performance of hearing-impaired
children by three years of ...
The impact of unilateral hearing loss on adult life
(Hearing Review, 2019)
There is a need to improve awareness and to better understand the impact and struggles of people who have unilateral hearing loss (UHL), the audiologists who treats them, and those who work, live and socialise with them. ...
