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.

History re-written for children with hearing impairment.

Unlabelled: A new generation of children with hearing impairment (HI) has emerged due to introduction of universal neonatal hearing screening, medical-surgical/technical and educational advances in the field of paediatric audiology.

Aim: The primary aim of the study was to investigate long-term development of language fundamentals of children with HI at school level and analyse associations to several background variables.

Method And Material: The project design is prospective, longitudinal and comparative and was conducted over a three-year period with annual testing of core language, expressive language, working memory and pragmatics.

Language Development for the New Generation of Children with Hearing Impairment.

Unlabelled: A new generation of children with hearing impairment (HI) has emerged due to the introduction of universal neonatal hearing screening, medical-surgical/technical and educational advances.

Aim: Investigation of long-term development of vocabulary and social well-being of children with HI, including children with HI and additional disability.

Method And Material: The project design was prospective, longitudinal, and comparative.

Evaluation of a sentence test in noise in children with hearing impairment.

Introduction: School-aged children with hearing impairment (HI) listen and learn in noisy environments. On-going monitoring of speech understanding in noise is essential to adjust clinical interventions accordingly.

Methods: The aim of this study was to assess Dantale II in a paediatric population.
