Program Description The auditory experience of children who are hard of hearing is shaped by the audibility provided by their hearing aids and the amount of time that they wear their hearing aids. As part of a longitudinal study of developmental outcomes in children who are hard of hearing, our research team had the opportunity to evaluate how these factors affect the development of speech, language and auditory skills. Maximizing hearing aid use and audibility in the clinical and educational settings will be emphasized. Educational audiologists and teachers of the deaf and hard of hearing play a major role monitoring and managing the cumulative auditory experience of learners who depend on hearing aids. Participants will learn to describe and evaluate various outcomes of children who are hard of hearing and factors affecting the development of speech, language and auditory skills.
