Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The combination of early identification of hearing loss and vastly improved hearing technology has resulted in the promise of better language, school and lifelong outcomes for children with hearing loss. Yet, those outcomes will not be realized unless the child's hearing is enhanced by consistent use of hearing devices to allow the best possible perception of speech. Simply identifying the hearing loss early and providing hearing aids to families will do little to improve lifelong learning. Research has indicated that only 10% of children achieve full time hearing aid use during all waking hours. The families of these children need to understand the importance of consistent hearing for brain development. But knowing how important hearing is to growing a child's brain is still not enough. Fitting hearing aids to meet the hearing needs of an infant or toddler is only the first step. It takes much patience, persistence, love and understanding by the child's family to reach the goal of full-time hearing aid wear. As the child moves through developmental stages toward becoming an independent person, his or her complacency with hearing aid wear is very likely to change. This does not mean that the child is rejecting the hearing aids because he does not like them. It means that he or she is learning new skills towards body control and independence.The purpose of this guide is to further understanding of child development, how it will affect hearing aid wear, and what families and early intervention teachers can do to achieve full-time hearing aid wear. By using the information in this guide, hearing aid retention accessories and specific age-appropriate strategies, it is hoped that families will be better prepared to manage their child's hearing aid wear.Purchase from http://successforkidswithhearingloss.com/achieving-effective-hearing-aid-use-in-early-childhood
Download or read book Hearing Loss written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-12-17 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Americans experience some degree of hearing loss. The Social Security Administration (SSA) operates programs that provide cash disability benefits to people with permanent impairments like hearing loss, if they can show that their impairments meet stringent SSA criteria and their earnings are below an SSA threshold. The National Research Council convened an expert committee at the request of the SSA to study the issues related to disability determination for people with hearing loss. This volume is the product of that study. Hearing Loss: Determining Eligibility for Social Security Benefits reviews current knowledge about hearing loss and its measurement and treatment, and provides an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the current processes and criteria. It recommends changes to strengthen the disability determination process and ensure its reliability and fairness. The book addresses criteria for selection of pure tone and speech tests, guidelines for test administration, testing of hearing in noise, special issues related to testing children, and the difficulty of predicting work capacity from clinical hearing test results. It should be useful to audiologists, otolaryngologists, disability advocates, and others who are concerned with people who have hearing loss.

This text is intended for graduate level training programs for professionals who work with children who have hearing loss and their families (teachers, therapists, speech-language pathologists, and audiologists.) In addition, the book will be of great interest to undergraduate speech-language-hearing programs, early childhood education and intervention programs, and parents of children who have hearing loss. Responding to the crucial need for a comprehensive text, this book provides a framework for the skills and knowledge necessary to help parents promote listening and spoken language development. This second edition covers current and up-to-date information about hearing, listening, auditory technology, auditory development, spoken language development, and intervention for young children with hearing loss whose parents have chosen to have them learn to listen and talk. Additions include updated information about hearing instruments and cochlear implants and about ways that professionals can support parents in promoting their children's language and listening development. Information about preschool program selection and management has been included. This book is unique in its scholarly, yet thoroughly readable style.

Download or read book Pediatric Amplification written by Ryan W. McCreery and published by Plural Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pediatric Amplification: Enhancing Auditory Access is a comprehensive resource that focuses specifically on the process of fitting children with hearing aids, a population that is underrepresented in the scientific and clinical literature. The text is based on a theoretical framework that posits that well-fit, consistently worn hearing aids can optimize the auditory access of children with hearing loss. This theoretical framework serves as the basis for providing clinical care to children with hearing aids and their families. The content is organized around using best practices to provide aided audibility, promote consistent hearing aid use, and engage in high-quality linguistic input for children who wear hearing aids. The text is unique in its focus on the clinical management of amplification in the pediatric population using cutting-edge research based on the needs of children who are hard of hearing. It includes chapters dedicated to hearing assistance technology and case studies to illustrate the concepts presented. Pediatric Amplification is a professional resource for clinicians and audiologists who serve children who wear hearing aids and their families and can also be used in graduate courses for students in audiology, deaf education, and speech-language pathology.
