Language outcomes in children who are deaf and hard of hearing: the role of language ability before hearing aid intervention
Language outcomes in children who are deaf and hard of hearing: the role of language ability before hearing aid intervention
Early auditory experiences are fundamental
in infant language acquisition. Research consistently
demonstrates the benefits of early intervention (i.e., hearing
aids) to language outcomes in children who are deaf and
hard of hearing. The nature of these benefits and their relation
with prefitting development are, however, not well understood.
