Maximizing Auditory Access for Children with Hearing Loss
For children to learn successfully using audition, it is essential that technology is performing optimally. The goal of technology is to provide access to auditory information so the child can use listening for the development of speech and language. We cannot assume that because children are wearing hearing aids, Baha’s, or cochlear implants, that they are hearing well. Only by careful evaluation can we determine if a child has sufficient auditory access. This presentation will discuss what to look for in an audiological evaluation; how to determine if speech perception is sufficient. The role of the LMH test and other speech perception tests will be discussed and video's will be used to demonstrate testing.
- Attendees will be able to identify if chidlren have sufficient auditory access to use listening to learn language
- Attendees will be able to use the LMH test to determine auditory access
- Attendees will understand how to communicate problems observed with other clinicians working with the child
