Abstract
Since the 1970’s, outcome studies for hearing impaired children have expanded from focusing on assessing auditory awareness and speech perception skills to evaluating language and speech development. Since the early 2000’s, multi-center large scale research has systematically studied outcomes in the areas of auditory awareness, speech-perception, language development, speech development, educational achievements, cognitive development, and psychosocial develop-ment. These studies advocate the establishment of baseline and regular follow-up evaluations with a comprehensive frame-work centered on language development. Recent research interests also include understanding the vast differences in out-comes for hearing impaired children and understanding the relationships between neurocognitive development and language acquisition in hearing impaired children. After the establishment of standardized Mandarin language assessments, outcomes research in Mainland China has the potential to expand beyond auditory awareness and speech perception studies.关键词
