Purpose: This report compares device use in a cohort of Spanish-English bilingual and English monolingual children who are deaf and hard of hearing, including children fitted with traditional hearing aids, cochlear implants (CIs), and/or bone-conduction hearing devices. Method: Participants were 84 Spanish-English bilingual children and 85 English…

Holder, Jourdan T.; Gifford, René H. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Despite the recommendation for cochlear implant (CI) processor use during all waking hours, variability in average daily wear time remains high. Previous work has shown that objective wear time is significantly correlated with speech recognition outcomes. We aimed to investigate the causal link between daily wear time and speech…

Christiane Lingås Haukedal; Ona Bø Wie; Stefan K. Schauber; Janne von Koss Torkildsen – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine quality of life (QOL) and its relation to language skills in children with developmental language disorder (DLD). This was examined by comparing QOL to a control group of children with typical development (TD), as well as children with cochlear implants (CIs), who potentially struggle with language…

Picou, Erin M.; Davis, Hilary; Lewis, Dawna; Tharpe, Anne Marie – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of hearing aid-based rerouting systems (remote microphone [RM] and contralateral routing of signals [CROS]) on speech recognition and comprehension for children with limited usable hearing unilaterally. A secondary purpose was to evaluate students' perceptions of CROS benefits in…

Zhang, Hao; Ma, Wen; Ding, Hongwei; Peng, Gang; Zhang, Yang – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Cochlear implants (CIs) provide significant benefits for profoundly deaf children in their language and cognitive development. However, it remains unclear whether Mandarin-speaking young children with early implantation can develop age-equivalent phonological awareness (PA) skill and working memory (WM) capacity as their normal hearing…

Findlen, Ursula M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify common clinical practice patterns for providing advanced noise management features in children with cochlear implants (CIs) and evaluate trends in consideration of clinician experience and comfort with CI manufacturer-specific technology. Method: A mixed-model survey including quantitative and…

Knowles, Thea; Adams, Scott G.; Page, Allyson; Cushnie-Sparrow, Daryn; Jog, Mandar – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: This study compared the performance of three amplification devices hypothesized to improve speech communication in individuals with hypophonia (HP), as well as to identify individuals' device preferences. Method: Twenty-two individuals with HP and their primary communication partners participated in a cross-over design study comparing…
