Did you know that one of the most significant predictors of receptive and expressive language for children who use cochlear implants was the age at which they achieved full-time use of their devices? Achieving full-time use can be a challenge. Join Dr. Erika Gagnon, Au.D., and Erin Thompson, M.S., CCC-SLP, LSLS Cert AVT as we take a deeper dive into the research, factors that impact full-time use and how to use the counseling concept of Hearing Hours Percentage (HHP) to support families and children who are on this cochlear implant journey. In addition, we take a deeper dive and a role-play demonstration into the benefits of co-treating (audiologists and speech-language pathologists) and strength-based coaching to improve family outcomes.
