Aided cortical response, speech intelligibility, consonant perception and functional performance of young children using conventional amplification or nonlinear frequency compression
(Elsevier, 2014)
ABSTRACT
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare conventional processing with nonlinear
frequency compression (NLFC) in hearing aids for young children with bilateral hearing loss.
Methods: Sixty-four children ...
Language and speech perception of young children with bimodal fitting or bilateral cochlear implants
(Cochlear Implants International, 2014-05-01)
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
Detection rates of cortical auditory evoked potentials at different sensation levels in infants with sensory/ neural hearing loss and auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder
(Seminars in Hearing, 2015)
With the introduction of newborn hearing screening infants are being diagnosed with hearing loss during the first few months of life. For infants with a sensory/ neural hearing loss (SNHL) the audiogram can be estimated ...
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).
Design: Speech reception thresholds ...
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 ...
Chapter 32. Managing infants and children with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD)
(Thieme Publishers, 2017)
Key Points
1. ANSD is a heterogeneous disorder and has a number of potential sites-of-lesion depending on the underlying cause. Hence, the hearing configuration, speech perception, and functional and speech language ...
Chapter 27. The Importance of Early Intervention for Infants and Children with Hearing Loss
(Thieme Publishers, 2017)
Key Points
1. The literature on the effectiveness of intervention for improving outcomes of children with hearing loss at a population level has equivocal findings.
2. The LOCHI study addresses the evidence gap by ...
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 ...
