This study examines whether earlier (< 6 months) versus later (> 6 months) enrollment of children who are DHH in early intervention programs influences third-grade reading proficiency.Method: This study used data linked from three Ohio state agencies for infants identified with permanent hearing loss born 2008-2014 who received EI. The sample consisted of 412 children who were DHH and had scores on third grade standardized reading tests. Reading levels were categorized from limited to advanced. Logistic regression assessed the association between enrollment timing and reading proficiency, adjusting for potentially confounding variables.Results: Children enrolled in EI programs before 6 months of age (n = 231; 56.1%) were more likely to achieve advanced reading levels (19.9% vs. 12.2%) and less likely to score at limited levels (27.7% vs. 36.5%) than those enrolled later. Earlier enrolled children had reading performance comparable to all Ohio third graders. Earlier enrollment was statistically significantly associated with proficient or better reading levels compared to later enrollment (OR 1.64 95% CI [1.06, 2.57]).Conclusion: Benefits of earlier EI enrollment extend into elementary school, supporting healthy developmental trajectories and reducing risk for later academic challenges in children who are DHH.","PeriodicalId":91737,"journal":{"name":"Journal of early hearing detection and intervention","volume":"10 1","pages":"50-58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12702420/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145764910","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}

Specifically, we explored what communication options caregivers were presented with, identify what factors impacted a caregiver's decision to pursue spoken language, and identify what barriers exist to learning sign language. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 20 caregivers of DHH children who had decision making power at the time of their child's diagnosis. Transcripts were coded using an inductive approach with triangulation between authors. Many families reported that minimal to no information was provided about communication options at the time of their child's diagnosis. The most common factor impacting the decision to pursue spoken language was caregivers' wish for their child to have a connection with their hearing family. Common barriers to learning sign language included difficulty finding in-person courses and difficulty integrating the vocabulary they learned into their everyday communication. Providers should provide comprehensive information in an unbiased way and consider the impact families' grief may have on their ability to process information in the moment. Additionally, there is a mismatch between what beginner sign language courses offer and the needs of families of DHH children.","PeriodicalId":91737,"journal":{"name":"Journal of early hearing detection and intervention","volume":"10 1","pages":"38-49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13155430/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147871007","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 examines the strength of the evidence to support this recommendation.Methods: A PubMed® query using the keywords hyperbilirubinemia and hearing loss identified 77 original papers. All abstracts were reviewed for consideration of full article review and 44 articles were reviewed for consideration of inclusion and grading, with 21 articles graded using structured evidence-grading forms. Nineteen articles were included to provide supporting rationale for recommendations. Evidence grading was completed by recommendation.Results: A moderate level of evidence supports hyperbilirubinemia requiring exchange transfusion as a risk factor for elevated hearing thresholds among infants and young children. It is recommended to employ Automated Auditory Brainstem Response screening in this population of infants. These recommendations are based on the findings across multiple graded studies where the net benefit is moderate or substantial. Intervals for on-going monitoring of hearing previously recommended by JCIH are supported by expert consensus.Conclusion: If an infant with hyperbilirubinemia requiring exchange transfusion passes the newborn hearing screening, close monitoring of hearing, speech, and language milestones are important and should lead to improved outcomes for the child.","PeriodicalId":91737,"journal":{"name":"Journal of early hearing detection and intervention","volume":"9 2","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11875398/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143544832","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}

However, prior work has revealed a substantial percentage of children who receive a diagnosis of hearing loss by three months of age, but do not enroll in early intervention by six months of age (Grey et al., 2022). To further understand barriers to enrollment in early intervention for these families, we completed qualitative semi-structured interviews with 10 caregivers whose children were diagnosed with hearing loss by three months of age but did not begin early intervention by six months. We recruited from participants in Grey et al. (2022). Interviews were coded using the Bioecological Model of Human Development (Bronfenbrenner & Morris, 2006) as a guiding framework. The interviews revealed widespread barriers encountered by families of children who are deaf and hard of hearing across ecological systems, ranging from child characteristics to macro-level issues like insurance coverage. To ensure that all children who are diagnosed with hearing loss have timely access to early intervention, changes to current policy and practice are needed across multiple ecological systems.","PeriodicalId":91737,"journal":{"name":"Journal of early hearing detection and intervention","volume":"9 1","pages":"7-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12393829/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144981979","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 research evaluated sociodemographic factors influencing adherence to EDHI diagnostic testing and the incidence of infant hearing loss during the pandemic.Method: We evaluated EHDI adherence and incidence of hearing loss in Kentucky before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using univariate and multivariate analysis, we evaluated the association of these outcomes to sociodemographic variables.Results: There were 71,206 births and 1,385 referred infant hearing screening tests during the study period. Infants during the pandemic had a 24% lower odds of hearing testing adherence (OR = 0.76, p = 0.05, 95%CI: 0.57-1).

Examiners administered a battery of developmentally appropriate language measures between 12 months and 8 years of age. We constructed latent growth curve models of global language, grammar, and vocabulary using Bayesian statistics.Results: Children with HL demonstrated no significant differences in initial language skills compared to children with NH. Children in the 1-3-6 group also showed no difference in language growth compared to children with NH. The slope for the 1-2-3 group was significantly steeper than children with NH for global language and grammar.Conclusions: This study documents the positive impact of EI on language outcomes in children with congenital HL.
