FIVE-YEAR OLDS WITH SSD

We are looking for five-year old children with SSD who do not have a cochlear implant.

If your child qualifies, they will be asked to participate in a full day of testing that includes hearing, communication, behavior, learning, and sensory processing skills. You will receive a $200 gift card and a brief report summarizing the results.
The findings will be used to see if children with SSD differ from children with typical hearing and/or children with SSD who receive a CI.​To qualify, your child must:​

 

  • Be five-years old.

  • Have a severe-to-profound hearing loss in one ear and normal hearing in the other.

  • Have been born with SSD or acquired the hearing loss before turning two.

  • Not have a cochlear implant.

  • Be developing typically.

  • Use English at home.
