Abstract
Abstract: Due to deficiencies in spoken language skills, a child with hearing loss faces specific challenges. Poor language frequently causes reading difficulties and hinders academic achievement. Conventional hearing aids can potentially provide children with hearing loss with enough auditory information to learn age-appropriate spoken language. Aim of the work: to evaluate language development in sensorineural hearing loss children using hearing aids and describe the effect of hearing aid in language and speech development. Patients and method: This study included 50 children with sensorineural hearing loss children using bilateral hearing aids, age ranging from 5years to 10years. All children assessed with Preliminary Diagnostic Procedures (Parents interview and history taking), IQ assessment, Audiological evaluation, language assessment. Results: All language parameters are affected by duration of deafness, age of fitting, and duration of rehabilitation. Conclusion: Short period of deafness, early age of fitting, and regular rehabilitation improve language ability in children with bilateral hearing aids.
