- Original description
The goal of this study is to evaluate the sensitivity of a newly-developed prototype device in its ability to measure brain responses to speech sounds in an infant population. The main research questions are: 1) Is the prototype sensitive to brain response differences from infants with hearing loss with and without hearing aids? and 2) How do the measured brain responses from infants with hearing loss compare to infants with normal hearing who are the same age? Participants will have their brain responses measured using the prototype in response to average-level non-sense speech sounds across 1 to 2 sessions in a "no-hearing aids" condition. Participants with hearing loss who are already fit with hearing aids will additionally undergo a "with hearing aids" recording condition.Read full original descriptionShow less

Inclusion: Infants (3 to 24 months of age) with normal hearing who have passed their audiological diagnostic evaluation; Infants (3 to 24 months of age) identified with hearing loss at their audiological diagnostic evaluation, whose parents have chosen spoken language as their form of communication, and who have been prescribed and fitted with a hearing aid(s).
Exclusion: Participants who have abnormal middle ear measure results or occluding ear wax will be excluded.
