The primary goal of the Center for Hearing Loss in Children is to improve the future prospects of children with educationally significant hearing loss through a tightly integrated program of research, research training, continuing education and information dissemination. The Center will concern itself with children having all degrees of hearing loss, ranging from mild to profound, recognizing that each point along the continuum of impairment poses unique diagnostic and rehabilitative challenges. To achieve the goal of the Center, research efforts will be expanded in three areas: 1) development of improved assessment and remediation strategies for children with hearing loss, 2) the genetics of hearing loss, and 3) animal models of auditory system development. Two research projects are described in each of these areas. Core units will provide administrative, technical, data analysis, and media support, genetics support, and clinical support for identification and management of the hearing-impaired children who participate in research studies. All educational programs will stress the three key aspects of hearing loss in children summarized above. The research training program will encompass training of undergraduate, predoctoral, postdoctoral, and more senior investigators in the above areas, with a unique multilevel program designed to increase the number of gifted deaf students who pursue careers in the communication sciences. The continuing education program will provide training in the three areas to practicing the information dissemination program will draw on our extensive experience in this area to provide a combination of newsletters, video tapes, and other materials to the general public, parents of children with hearing loss, and to the children themselves.

儿童听力损失中心的主要目标是改善 具有教育意义的听力儿童的未来前景 通过紧密结合的研究计划，研究培训， 继续教育和信息传播。 该中心将 关注患有各种程度听力损失的儿童， 从温和到深刻，认识到每一点沿着连续的 损伤带来了独特的诊断和康复挑战。 到 实现中心的目标，研究工作将扩大在三个 领域：1）制定改进的评估和补救战略 对于听力损失儿童，2）听力损失的遗传学，以及3） 听觉系统发育的动物模型。 两个研究项目是 在每一个领域都有描述。 核心单位将提供行政、 技术、数据分析和媒体支持、遗传学支持和临床 为识别和管理听力受损儿童提供支持 参与研究的人。 所有的教育项目都会强调 儿童听力损失的三个主要方面。 的 研究培训计划将包括本科生的培训， 博士前，博士后，和更高级的研究人员在上述 地区，具有独特的多层次计划，旨在增加 有天赋的聋哑学生，他们追求传播科学的职业生涯。 的 继续教育计划将在三个领域提供培训， 实施信息传播计划将利用我们广泛的 在这方面的经验，提供通讯，视频相结合 录音带和其他材料向公众，儿童的父母， 听力损失和孩子们自己。
