“…Hearing loss (HL) can prevent children from experiencing consistent and complete access to words in the ambient language, which may slow their development of phonological representations and/or their production accuracy (Tomblin, Oleson, Ambrose, Walker, & Moeller, 2014; von Hapsburg & Davis, 2006). Provision of early and consistent access to linguistic input is critical for promoting optimal outcomes for these children and thus has become a fundamental best-practice goal in the management of infants with HL (Bagatto et al, 2011; Sininger, Grimes, & Christensen, 2010). Two relatively recent service innovations support this goal: early identification through universal newborn hearing screening and provision of hearing aids (HAs) and/or cochlear implants at much earlier ages than in the past (Halpin, Smith, Widen, & Chertoff, 2010; Sininger et al, 2010).…”

Purpose The purpose of the study was to 1) compare the speech sound production abilities of 2-year-old children who are hard of hearing (HH) to children with normal hearing (NH), 2) identify sources of risk for individual children who are HH, and 3) determine whether speech sound production skills at age two were predictive of speech sound production skills at age three. Method Seventy children with bilateral, mild-to-severe hearing loss who use hearing aids and 37 age- and SES-matched children with NH participated. Children’s speech sound production abilities were assessed at 2 and 3 years of age. Results At age two, the HH group demonstrated vowel production abilities on par with their NH peers, but weaker consonant production abilities. Within the HH group, better outcomes were associated with hearing aid fittings by 6 months of age, hearing loss of less than 45 dB HL, stronger vocabulary scores, and being female. Positive relationships existed between children’s speech sound production abilities at 2 and 3 years of age. Conclusions Assessment of early speech sound production abilities in combination with demographic, audiologic, and linguistic variables may be useful in identifying HH children who are at risk of delays in speech sound production.

“…Children with these hearing characteristics are those whose families, early in the hearing aid selection process, should be guided regarding the limitations of amplification, environment and the distance between the sound source and the microphone of hearing aids, educational approaches and other technologies available (cochlear implants). SII can and should be used as a guidance tool for families of children with hearing impairment (3,9,12) . The understanding of the family in relation to hearing impairment and the importance of treatment is the decisive factor for the consistent use of amplification -a key variable for child development (25,26) .…”

“…Consequently, for the same hearing loss, different values of gain and output are calculated, which confirms the need for the verification step (7,8) . It is important to evaluate the audibility of speech signal in HA selection process to ensure that infants and children with hearing loss have access to speech sounds with quality and without discomfort, using objective and subjective measurements (9) . However, infants and young children are not yet able for traditional speech recognition tests and other validation methods used with adults and older children.…”

RESUMO Objetivo estabelecer relações entre valores do índice de inteligibilidade de fala - SII gerados na verificação dos aparelhos de amplificação sonora programados conforme regra prescritiva DSLm[i/o]v5 e uma proposta de classificação de indivíduos que considere a associação de grau e configuração de perdas auditivas. Método foram selecionadas 41 crianças com idades entre 4 e 80 meses, totalizando 78 orelhas para análise. Foram considerados os limiares auditivos nas frequências 250, 500, 1000, 2000 e 4000 Hz e analisados valores de SII para os sinais de entrada 65 dB NPS, obtidos na verificação dos AASI no equipamento Verifit®Audioscan. Resultados as perdas auditivas foram classificadas em cinco grupos homogêneos quanto às características audiológicas (grau e configuração audiométrica) e heterogêneos entre si. A partir dos grupos, determinaram-se três intervalos de valores de SII. Foram determinadas equações para classificação da perda auditiva conforme grupos e equações para determinação de valores de SII ajustado. Conclusão o valor de SII pode ser considerado um indicador da audibilidade para sons de fala para diferentes características de perdas auditivas e nortear avalições de comportamento auditivo. O SII tem relação mais forte com a associação das variáveis grau e configuração audiométrica, quando comparado com sua relação com o grau da perda auditiva isoladamente.

Outcome evaluation is an important stage in the pediatric hearing aid fitting process, however a systematic way of evaluating outcome in the pediatric audiology population is lacking. This is in part due to the need for an evidence-based outcome evaluation guideline for infants and children with hearing loss who wear hearing aids. As part of the development of a guideline, a critical review of the existing pediatric audiology outcome evaluation tools was conducted. Subjective outcome evaluation tools that measure auditory-related behaviors in children from birth to 6 years of age were critically appraised using a published grading system (Andresen, 2000). Of the tools that exist, 12 were appraised because they met initial criteria outlined by the Network of Pediatric Audiologists of Canada as being appropriate for children birth to 6 years of age who wear hearing aids. Tools that were considered for the guideline scored high in both statistical and feasibility criteria. The subjective outcome evaluation tools that were ultimately chosen to be included in the guideline were the LittlEARS Auditory Questionnaire (Tsiakpini et al., 2004) and the Parents' Evaluation of Aural/Oral Performance of Children (PEACH) Rating Scale (Ching & Hill, 2005b) due to the high grades they received in the critical review and their target age ranges. Following this critical review of pediatric outcome evaluation tools, the next step was for the Network Clinicians to evaluate the guideline (Moodie et al., 2011b).
