No results posted yet for this study

Summary

There is high variability in outcomes in children with hearing impairment. Existing literature focus mainly on subpopulations (children with hearing aids, children with CI) and is usually not epidemiological. Often children with additional needs (intellectual disability, visual impairment, autism spectrum disorder, complex syndromes) are excluded from the studies. This subgroup of children makes up around 1/3 of the population of children with hearing impairment.

What factors contribute to the unexplained variance in language development in children with hearing loss? (including children with additional needs, multilingual) There is a lack of European epidemiological studies that evaluate the effects of Newborn Hearing Screening and early intervention.
