Determining Auditory Potential> How do I know if Hearing aids are enough?
If adequate spoken language progress is going to be made in the first few years of life, intervention teams must utilize meaningful ways to estimate a child’s hearing potential and guide families to take appropriate action as the child is first learning to listen. This presentation will present an innovative and simple informal assessment approach that captures meaningful data on hearing potential using typical materials in 20 minutes or less.
- Contrast the difference between audibility and clarity of speech
- Analyze a deaf and/or hard-of-hearing baby’s, toddler’s and preschooler’s listening and speech behaviors
- Generate an objective discussion with intervention team members to facilitate appropriate action
