Summary
This study examines the comparative effects of hearing aids and cochlear implants on hearing and speech recognition in children with hearing loss. This research adopts a quantitative approach to compare the outcomes of children using hearing aids versus cochlear implants. Data will be collected through audiological evaluations, including aided audiometry and speech recognition tests conducted in an audiology clinic. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses will be used to determine differences between the groups.
Detailed description
The study aims to provide evidence-based guidance for audiologists, educators, and caregivers regarding optimal device selection and management. By identifying the strengths and limitations of each intervention, the findings will contribute to improved rehabilitation strategies, ultimately enhancing auditory and speech outcomes in children with hearing loss. This research holds significance for advancing clinical practices in pediatric audiology.
