This study examines the comparative effects of hearing aids and cochlear implants on hearing and speech recognition in children with hearing loss.
This research adopts a quantitative approach to compare the outcomes of children using hearing aids versus cochlear implants. Data will be collected through audiological evaluations, including aided audiometry and speech recognition tests conducted in an audiology clinic. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses will be used to determine differences between the groups.
The study aims to provide evidence-based guidance for audiologists, educators, and caregivers regarding optimal device selection and management. By identifying the strengths and limitations of each intervention, the findings will contribute to improved rehabilitation strategies, ultimately enhancing auditory and speech outcomes in children with hearing loss. This research holds significance for advancing clinical practices in pediatric audiology.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Aided Audiometry | the hearing ability of individual using hearing aids or cochlear implant is measured in a Free Field Testing Environment using Pure Tones at frequencies 250Hz to 8000Hz. Interpretation: Results are plotted on Audiogram, showing the lowest level in decibel (dB HL) at which patient can detect sounds with their hearing aid or cochlear implant. 20-30dB HL Excellent aided thresholds (satisfactory) 31-40 dBHL Mild aided thresholds (good) 41-60 dBHL Moderate aided hearing thresholds (average) More than 60dBHL Severe aided hearing thresholds (poor) | 12 Months |
| Speech Perception Test | Evaluated using Phonetically Balanced Monosyllabic word list in Urdu in both quiet and noisy environment. Interpretation: The score is expressed as a percentage of correctly identified words under specified listening condition. 90- 100% Normal or Slight difficulty 70-89% Mild difficulty 50-69% Moderate difficulty Below 50% Severe difficulty or poor word recognition Score | 12 Months |
