Self-reported social well-being of children with hearing loss in 2023.

Objectives: To study the level of social well-being for children with hearing loss (HL) using self-completed questionnaires.

Methods: The data sample relates to a total of 22 children representing a new group of children with HL. This new group is defined as HL detected through neonatal hearing screening and fitted with hearing technology when relevant before 6 months, received bilateral cochlear implants before one year of age followed by specific educational training using the auditory-verbal practice.

Explaining neurological factors of hearing loss through digital technologies.

Unlabelled: The study investigated how inclusion of the considerable amount of knowledge generated through basic research in multisensory experiences can be brought into clinical paediatric audiology with a specific focus to enhance understanding of the neurological implications of childhood hearing loss.

Objectives: The overall aim of the project was to investigate how to use emerging technologies to enhance the understanding of the neurological impact of paediatric hearing loss. The specific objectives were to develop an app and to evaluate its ease of use and the understanding of neurology by all types of stakeholders and end-users.
