Now that newborn hearing checks are available, hearing loss can be picked up soon after birth and hearing aids are fitted shortly after. Although procedures exist for checking that the devices make sounds audible, there is no way to evaluate their effectiveness for supporting a child’s auditory discrimination. This study aims to 1) develop new clinical tools for assessing infants’ auditory discrimination, and 2) determine whether early discrimination predicts spoken language at 3 years of age.

现在，新生儿听力检查是可用的，听力损失可以在出生后不久就被发现，并在不久后安装助听器。虽然存在检查设备发出声音的程序，但没有办法评估其支持儿童听觉辨别的有效性。本研究的目的是：1）开发新的临床工具来评估婴儿的听觉辨别能力; 2）确定早期辨别能力是否能预测3岁时的口语。
