Unlocking the Potential of Cochlear Implants for the Hearing-Impaired
In a recent study, researchers from the University of Sheffield have identified a new way to detect early signs of hearing and brain impairment in children. The study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, found that children with hearing and brain impairments often have a reduced ability to detect low-frequency sounds. This reduced ability can be detected through an audio test, which uses a series of tones at different frequencies to measure a child’s ability to detect low-frequency sounds. This test can be used to identify hearing and brain impairments in children from a very early age, allowing for early intervention and treatment. This is an important step in providing children with the care they need to achieve their full potential.
