Sound Advice: Hearing Aids Matter!

Results from the Outcomes of Children with Hearing Loss Study (OCHL)
A team of investigators at Boys Town National Research Hospital, the University of Iowa, and the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill has been tracking the outcomes of preschool-aged children who are hard of hearing and wear hearing aids.  

Theirfindings indicate that the practices of early identification and consistent use of well-fit hearing aids promote positive speech and language outcomes for these children. 

The results of this study provide evidenced-based direction for best practice implementation and the team has created materials that highlight key findings and implications of their work for professionals and families.
