Overview

This learning experience, initially aired in January 2019, highlights landmark research studies that provide evidence for today’s optimal listening and spoken language outcomes for infants and children who are deaf or hard of hearing with an exploration of the key factors that influence these outcomes. We'll summarize the findings of: 1) the Australian Longitudinal Outcomes of Children with Hearing Impairment (LOCHI) study, 2) the Melbourne research examining outcomes of children with cochlear implants, 3) the multi-center Outcomes of Children with Hearing Loss study, and 4) the Childhood Development after Cochlear Implantation (CDaCI) study. Learners will explore how the integration of the results provide a collective narrative of the outcomes that are probable and the most important factors that influence those outcomes.
