factors impacting child and adult Flashcards
factors known to impact Childs performance
age of implantation
length of deafness
consistency of device use
primary communication mode
family support and engagement
age of implantation
early implantation is during their critical periods for auditory development
length of deafness
shorter durations lead to better results as the pathways are more active
consistency of device use
regular use helps develop auditory skills
primary communication mode
oral communication environments support better auditory development
family support and engagement
active family involvement
factors to impact an adults performance
duration of hearing loss
age of onset
neural survival
motivation and expectations
duration of hearing loss
shorter hearing loss better results
age of onset
post lingual have better outcomes
neural survival
remaining nerve cells in cochlea
