For example, a diagnosis such as Deaf or hard of hearing may coincide with communication deficits or accessibility challenges that could alter participation patterns. This study investigates the effect of auditory status on activity involvement in adolescents relative to the number and type of activities and the relationship between extracurricular engagement and quality of life. Participants included 113 adolescents (13-17 years) who either used a cochlear implant ( n = 68) or had typical hearing ( n = 45). Adolescents completed an online survey querying demographic characteristics (e.g., auditory history, self-rated communication skills, extracurricular activity involvement), temperament, and social satisfaction. Adolescents with typical hearing engaged in significantly more extracurricular activities than adolescents with cochlear implants, with significantly higher participation in performing arts, community service, and academic-based clubs than the cochlear implant group. Higher levels of activity engagement co-occur with social satisfaction. Clinicians should encourage participation in extracurricular activities to foster social interactions and positive quality of life in adolescents who are Deaf or hard of hearing.","PeriodicalId":53691,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Hearing","volume":"47 1","pages":"40-49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13076042/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147693537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

DHH teens have higher rates of social isolation and peer victimization compared with peers with typical hearing. Additionally, they need to develop self-advocacy skills to enhance accessibility across educational, employment, and social environments. Research studies often do not fully capture the full experience of adolescents who are DHH, or how living with hearing loss as a teenager has changed over time. This qualitative study explores the academic and social experiences during high school from the perspective of adults with hearing loss as they reflect on the past and current high school students as they reflect on their present situations. Participants included four adults ( M = 48.8 years) and nine adolescents ( M = 16.0 years) with congenital hearing loss, all of whom used hearing technology (i.e., hearing aid, cochlear implant) in high school. Participants responded in writing to prompts about challenges they encountered while in high school. Qualitative analysis was conducted to identify themes across essays. Peer interactions emerged as the most common struggle, regardless of generation, with self-advocacy relative to school technology and communication strategies as the second most common theme. Personal perspectives of having a hearing loss as an adolescent highlight the need for parents, clinical and educational professionals, and community programs to look beyond the medical and technology needs of those with hearing loss to understand the impact that a childhood diagnosis of DHH has on the whole person.","PeriodicalId":53691,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Hearing","volume":"47 1","pages":"3-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13076037/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147693431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article provides an overview of a two-stage qualitative study that, in the first stage, retrospectively investigated the earlier social capital experiences of DHH university students and how these had assisted their transition from high school to postsecondary education. The second stage explored these students' views on ways in which professionals and parents can support adolescents' development and use of social capital that most benefits their postschool transition. Ten DHH university students whose primary communication mode was spoken language participated in semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis of the study's findings specific to the role of audiologists generated four major themes: deaf connections, encouragement, specialized assistive technology, and holistic support. Clinical implications of these findings and recommendations for audiologists working with adolescents and young adults are outlined.","PeriodicalId":53691,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Hearing","volume":"47 1","pages":"33-39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13076040/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147693550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This may particularly affect teenagers navigating social scenes in adolescence, when peers become more important than family, and those with disabilities like hearing loss that may affect emotion recognition. This study investigates the effect of auditory status (deaf or hard of hearing using cochlear implant, CI, versus typical hearing, TH) on visual emotion recognition in adolescents, and its association with social relationships. Participants included 24 adolescents with TH ( M = 13.7 years) and 34 adolescent long-term CI users ( M = 13.3 years). Adolescents completed an emotion recognition task viewing video clips of faces morphing from a neutral expression to six facial expressions at 60, 80, or 100% emotion intensities via a gating task, and questionnaires about social relationships. Adolescents with TH significantly outperformed the CI group in the 80% emotion intensity condition ( p = 0.02), but not the other conditions ( p > 0.05). Better visual emotion recognition in CI users coincided with older age, better speech in noise ability, and more positive friendship quality. Significant performance differences with 80% emotion intensity suggest the CI group processes facial expressions qualitatively differently from TH peers, which has implications for therapeutic intervention for social skills in CI users.","PeriodicalId":53691,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Hearing","volume":"47 1","pages":"50-59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13076034/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147693603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some states allow exceptions for medical reasons documented by a physician, but others allow no exceptions and may offer students bulkier options to use, such as tablets that may not be optimized for the hearing assistive technology. Research regarding the negative impact of allowing possession of smartphones during the school day is often countered with the need for students to have access to a communication device for emergencies and access to accommodations such as live captioning. Possible solutions are proposed, including links to manufacturer-compatible remote controls for hearing aids and cochlear implants. The options to allow the use of a smartphone for students who control their technology or access accommodation features may be included in the Individualized Educational Plan. Audiologists are encouraged to review the possible restrictions experienced by the adolescents they serve to allow sharing of appropriate solutions with the school districts and provision of information that may facilitate purchases of new equipment, such as remote controls.","PeriodicalId":53691,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Hearing","volume":"47 1","pages":"10-17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13076035/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147693445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have a limited knowledge base on how streaming impacts hearing aid use during adolescence or how adolescents who are DHH use streaming with their hearing aids.Conclusion: The results of this prospective research study indicate that adolescents with streaming used their hearing aids more often than peers without streaming, averaging over two additional hours of daily use. Streaming music and videos were the most common situations in which adolescents reported using connectivity, while tracking hearing aid use and using a phone app to troubleshoot hearing aid problems were the least common. While adolescents experienced some technical challenges with streaming, such as connectivity issues, reduced battery life, and compatibility with a limited number of devices, their overall perception of streaming through their hearing aids was extremely positive.","PeriodicalId":53691,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Hearing","volume":"47 1","pages":"26-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13076038/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147693531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
