Children deaf or hard of hearing living in a French-minority
Hearing can shape a child’s developmental experiences; how they communicate, learn, interact, and engage with the world. Among the 1 million Francophones who live in a minority situation in Canada, an estimated 600 to 700 are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH). Canadians living in a minority situation often face barriers accessing certain services. For DHH children, the linguistic environment is particularly important. However, it is unclear whether r…
School-aged children with mild bilateral and unilateral hearing loss
Approximately 50% of children first identified with hearing loss present with mild bilateral and unilateral hearing loss (MUHL), but little is known about their functioning in the school years. The purpose of this study was to examine caregivers’ perceptions of their child’s functioning and needs at school age. This qualitative inquiry was a follow-up to interviews conducted following the diagnosis of MUHL. Seventeen of the original 20 caregivers…
Parent-Reported Stress and Child Behavior for 4-Year-Old Children with Unilateral or Mild Bilateral Hearing Loss
Children with unilateral or mild bilateral hearing loss are increasingly identified in early childhood. Relatively little is known about how hearing loss affects their developmental trajectory or whether it contributes to parenting stress for these parents. This study aimed to examine child behavior and parenting stress in parents of children with unilateral/mild bilateral hearing loss compared to children with typical hearing. This prospective s…
Coaching Caregivers of Children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
Caregiver coaching is an expected practice in early intervention. However, little is known about coaching with caregivers of children who are deaf or hard of hearing, receiving services for listening and spoken language (LSL). A systematic review of 7 databases, the gray literature, and consultation with 7 expert LSL practitioners yielded 506 records for full-text review, 22 of which were ultimately included in the review. Our findings are presen…
Auditory, Social, and Behavioral Skills of Children With Unilateral/Mild Hearing Loss
This study explored the impact of mild bilateral or unilateral hearing loss on auditory, social, and behavior skills in early school-aged children. Thirty-two children (aged 5–9 years) were evaluated with parent and teacher questionnaires. Most outcomes were within the range of expected scores. However, functional auditory skills were below published results for children with typical hearing. On the social skills scale, about 21.4% (parent-report…
School-aged Children with Mild Bilateral and Unilateral Hearing Loss
Following the establishment of newborn hearing screening programs, age of identification and length of time before receiving interventions has been reduced for children, including those with milder degrees of hearing loss who were previously not identified until school age. This population of early-identified children requires new support programs for parents. Although literature is emerging on how parents experience the initial years, there is l…
Children With Mild Bilateral and Unilateral Hearing Loss
Children with mild bilateral and unilateral hearing loss are now commonly identified early through newborn hearing screening initiatives. There remains considerable uncertainty about how to support parents and about which services to provide for children with mild bilateral and unilateral hearing loss. The goal of this study was to learn about parents' experiences and understand, from their perspectives, the impact of hearing loss in the mild ran…
Auditory (Re)Habilitation for Adolescents with Hearing Loss
There is a growing realization that many adolescents with hearing loss require special attention. Despite the benefits of early diagnosis, early amplification, and early intervention, some adolescents with hearing loss do not achieve age equivalent developmental milestones. The purpose of this book is to assist auditory (re)habilitation practitioners in mitigating the negative effects of hearing loss on communicative, socio-emotional, and academi…
How Handy are baby signs? A systematic review of the impact of gestural communication on typically developing, hearing infants under the age of 36 months
Baby sign language is advocated to improve children’s communication development. However, the evidence to support the advantages of baby sign has been inconclusive. A systematic review was undertaken to summarize and appraise the research related to the effectiveness of symbolic gestures for typically developing, hearing infants with hearing parents. Eight electronic databases, reference lists, and websites were searched for relevant studies publ…
How Handy are baby signs? A systematic review of the impact of gestural communication on typically developing, hearing infants under the age of 36 months
A systematic review was conducted to synthesize the evidence related to the effectiveness of baby sign language for children with typical development. This response to a Commentary on the review stresses that the primary purpose of the review was to assist caregivers and policy makers with informed decision-making related to the benefits of the intervention. This response reiterates the need for rigorous studies to evaluate whether early exposure…
