Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Introduction of universal neonatal hearing screening, early diagnosis of hearing loss (HL), and early intervention with hearing technology—hearing aids (HAs) and cochlear implants (CIs)—combined with specific educational intervention has markedly changed life conditions for children with HL. Children with HL are an ongoing clinical concern, and it has been documented that medical, surgical, technical, and educational interventions have allowed children and adolescents with HL to achieve outcomes of audition, language, and social well-being never before documented for the population. It is, however, important to recognise that even though HL is treated with state-of-the-art hearing technology, children with HL do not have normal hearing (NH). Distance to the sound signal and background noise are still challenging for children and adolescents with HL. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to bring together updated knowledge on emerging new approaches, with a specific focus on how challenges are solved around the globe.
This Special Issue aims to provide information on studies that focus on timely and relevant interventions for new generations with HL.
