The audiologist can act as a resource for parents at any point as the child develops there will be new challenges. There is a partnership between the parent and the audiologist based on trust and a mutual understanding to provide the best care for the

Late diagnosis of hearing loss has been one of the contributing factors of reduced language skills in children (Durieux-Smith, Fitzpatrick, & Whittingham, 2008).

By 2000, there was a federal law to support universal newborn hearing screenings (UNHS). The law also promoted early intervention for children with hearing loss, in hopes to improve speech/language abilities for children with hearing loss

I also want to briefly point out the range of hearing impairments that a child can have. Even though a child may not be classified as “profoundly impaired” or deaf, this does not mean that the child will not face several of the obstacles a deaf child does.
