Development

The eLearning modules in this section cover such areas as Cognition, Language and Education of the hearing impaired. Earlier identification of hearing loss allows for earlier intervention, and raises expectations that increasing numbers of deaf children will develop language and literacy abilities that are comparable to their hearing age peers. Hearing Instruments are one of the most successful prosthetic devices developed to date, enabling many hearing impaired people to hear speech and attend to a range of environmental sounds. However, whilst their success over several decades in this regard is self‐evident, surprisingly little is known concerning the brain’s response to amplification. This lack of knowledge can make it difficult to understand why some recipients perform well and others do not.
