2024 Early Hearing Detection & Intervention Conference

Outcomes of Children with Mild/Moderate Hearing Loss: A Multi-State Perspective
Much of what we know about deafness and language comes from assessment data of children with severe to profound hearing loss. This presentation will focus on the often-overlooked, yet large, population of children with mild to moderate hearing loss, including those with a loss in the high or low frequencies only. Language outcomes in children from 8 months to 7 years of age will be described as well as specific areas of language strength and challenge. This will be based on assessment data from over 800 children who are hard of hearing living in 14 different states. This information will serve as a springboard for a recommended assessment battery as well as areas to focus on in intervention with children who are hard of hearing.
- Describe the language levels of children birth to 7 years of age who have mild/moderate hearing loss
- Identify areas of language strength and challenge for children with mild/moderate hearing loss
- Select assessments and interventions for children who are hard of hearing that are most likely to identify/address gaps in language skills
