“…CBAT programs are also a viable mode in which auditory training can be presented. 49,[60][61][62] The currently commercial CBAT programs for children with hearing loss have demonstrated modest benefit with pediatric cochlear implant users; however, there is limited evidence with pediatric hearing aid users. This is not to say that CBAT should replace professionals trained in aural rehabilitation, but it can be used as a supplement.…”

Until recently, the habilitation process of children with hearing impairment has focused on providing access to auditory information through hearing assistive technology (e.g., hearing aids and FM systems). It is apparent from the literature that when selecting hearing aids for the pediatric population cognitive and auditory development must be taken into account. In order for pediatric hearing aid users to utilize the information provided by the hearing aids and be successful, an intervention plan that recognizes the role of cognitive factors such as working memory and attention is necessary. The current state of knowledge related to auditory training will be discussed as well as other factors related to improvement in speech perception. Future directions in auditory training and habilitation efforts will be discussed.Learning Outcomes: As a result of this activity, the participant will be able to (1) discuss the role of amplification (i.e., hearing aids) in the habilitation process of children with hearing loss; (2) identify a type of auditory training that has been successful in improving speech recognition in noise in pediatric hearing aid users. The focus of this Seminars in Hearing issueis the link between hearing aids and the brain. This topic is relevant to pediatric populations because it is at this stage of human development that some of the most remarkable perceptual and physiological changes occur. The first year of life is called the "listening year." During this time, infants are actively organizing their auditory world while laying the foundation for the development of speech and language. Numerous studies on infant auditory development have provided overwhelming evidence of the importance of the ear-to-brain connection. 1-3 Eggermont and colleagues, 4,5 for example,
