Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated high variability phonetic training (HVPT) for children with cochlear implants (CIs), specifically focusing on improving their ability to produce lexical tones.
- Sixteen children underwent a five-session HVPT, while another sixteen received no training; their tone production was assessed before, immediately after, and ten weeks post-training.
- Results showed significant improvements in Mandarin tone production among the trained group, including lasting changes in tone characteristics, highlighting the potential of HVPT in clinical practices for pediatric CI users.
Objective: The current study aims to translate and cross-culturally adapt the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-Management of Child Hearing Loss (AAQ-MCHL) scale to Chinese caregivers of children with hearing loss (CHL) and verify its psychometric characteristics.
Design: This is a cross-sectional design of psychometric validation study.
Study Sample: In total, 135 caregivers of CHL were invited to participate in the study, and complete data from 125 participants were used to analyse internal consistency, test-retest reliability, content validity, structural validity, criterion validity, and the optimal cut-off score of AAQ-MCHL.

Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the effectiveness of a universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) program in China by comparing data from 2016 and 2017 across different regions.
- Results showed improvements in initial screening coverage and rescreening rates in 2017, with a decrease in referral rates compared to 2016.
- The majority of institutions employed a combination of otoacoustic emissions (OAE) and automated auditory brainstem response (AABR) tests for screenings, and over half had a digital information management system for UNHS.
