Pediatric Amplification: Enhancing Auditory Access (EPUB)

By Ryan W. McCreery, Elizabeth Walker Pediatric Amplification: Enhancing Auditory Access is a comprehensive resource that focuses specifically on children who wear hearing aids, who often do not receive the same emphasis in research as children with cochlear implants. The text is based on a theoretical framework that hearing aids can normalize the auditory access of children with hearing loss. This theoretical framework serves as the basis for providing clinical care to children with hearing aids and their families.
The content is organized around optimizing amplification to provide audibility, promoting consistent hearing aid use, and providing consistent and high-quality linguistic input for children who wear hearing aids. The text is unique in its focus on the clinical management of amplification in children using cutting edge research based on the needs of children. It includes chapters dedicated to hearing assistance technology and case studies to illustrate the concepts presented.
Pediatric Amplification is a professional resource for clinicians and audiologists who serve children who wear hearing aids and their families, and can also be used in graduate courses for students in audiology, deaf education, and speech-language pathology.
