This study investigated prosodic and structural characteristics of infant‐directed speech to hearing‐impaired infants as they gain hearing experience with a cochlear implant over a 12‐month period of time. Mothers were recorded during a play interaction with their HI infants ( N = 27, mean age 18.4 months) at 3, 6, and 12 months postimplantation. Two separate control groups of mothers with age‐matched normal‐hearing infants ( NH ‐ AM ) ( N = 21, mean age 18.1 months) and hearing experience‐matched normal‐hearing infants ( NH ‐ EM ) ( N = 24, mean age 3.1 months) were recorded at three testing sessions. Mothers produced less exaggerated pitch characteristics, a larger number of syllables per utterance, and faster speaking rate when interacting with NH ‐ AM as compared to HI infants. Mothers also produced more syllables and demonstrated a trend suggesting faster speaking rate in speech to NH ‐ EM relative to HI infants. Age‐related modifications included decreased pitch standard deviation and increased number of syllables in speech to NH ‐ AM infants and increased number of syllables in speech to HI and NH ‐ EM infants across the 12‐month period. These results suggest that mothers are sensitive to the hearing status of their infants and modify characteristics of infant‐directed speech over time
