Over the last two decades, substantial resources have been dedicated toward the goals of early identification and intervention for children with hearing loss. Notable successes have occurred, including lowering the age of identification and the age of amplification from two years down to a few months of age (Holte. Am J Audiol 2012;21[2]:163-174). However, the evidence to suggest that the early provision of amplification has a positive impact on developmental outcomes in children with hearing loss has been more challenging to document.
