Objectives: To determine and compare the rates of progress made by pre-school aged children with all degrees and types of hearing impairment and deafness, both with and without additional needs as catalogued using SNOMED CT, at the end of a non-statutory programme of individualised Auditory Verbal (AV) intervention.

Methods: An audit was conducted using a retrospective and comparative study design to examine spoken language outcomes in children who had spent more than two years on an AV programme and had completed their programmes between January 2007 and December 2017. The children were stratified according to i) whether they achieved age appropriate language (AAL) (n =102) or not (n =27); ii) whether they had deafness alone (n = 77) or deafness with additional needs (n =52); and iii) whether children with additional needs achieved AAL (n= 27) or not (n =25).
