2016 LOCHI Series Online Lectures
This online series of lectures shares the results and findings from the long term speech, language, educational and psychosocial outcomes of children with hearing impairments.
Cochlear implantation in children with single sided deafness
This webinar will provide an outline of SCIC’s paediatric assessment protocol for clients with SSD; pre-operative support and counselling provided, and guidelines for rehabilitation following CI in this population.
Paediatric datalogs – what do they tell us?
The introduction of data logging into cochlear implant (CI) technology has provided a range of opportunities for clinicians and clients to modify their approach to device management and communication therapy.
IMPlementing the IMP: The What, Why, Who, When and How of the Infant Monitor of vocal Production
Clinically the IMP is a normed instrument which documents and assesses when (or whether) an infant’s innate vocal behaviours transition to audition-led imitations of speech and salient words.
Device activation timing: Electrophysiological, psychophysical findings and implications for device use
This webinar overviews patterns of impedance, electrophysiological, psychophysical results and device usage over the first 12 weeks post device activation. It is hypothesised that the map parameters and device usage stabilise at the same post activation interval irrespective of device activation time.
Working with Families
Today, in most developed countries, newborn hearing screening means that the diagnosis of deafness takes place in the first few weeks of a child’s life. Over 95% of deaf children are born to hearing parents, and this comes as completely unexpected.
Deaf Teenagers – the challenges of today
For deaf young people, most of whom are in mainstream education, the lack of a peer group can be important, and the challenges they face become greater. At school, there may be greater demands upon them, with expanding language and curriculum demands, and providing support while promoting independence challenging.
Assessing progress in young deaf children – why and how?
Many factors influence the progress of deaf children: age at diagnosis, age at fitting of hearing aids or implants, the presence of other difficulties for example.
