Helping children with hearing impairments early on. Since the mandatory introduction of newborn hearing screening, the approach to congenital hearing impairment has changed significantly. The authors systematically and clearly present how effective support for children with hearing impairments can follow early detection in this textbook. They consolidate existing knowledge and experiences from various fields - education, psychology, medicine, and pediatric audiology. Technical aspects, such as early provision of hearing aids, cochlear implants, or brainstem implants, are discussed alongside hearing education, language promotion, and parental counseling in nurseries, kindergartens, schools, early intervention, counseling centers, and CI centers.
