Auditory/Perceptual Processing by Infants with Hearing Loss: Issues in Clinical Assessment A Nd Management: The purpose of this request for applications (RFA) is to support multidisciplinary research addressing auditory/perceptual processing in infants with hearing loss. As many as 33 children with significant hearing impairment are born every day in the United States and newborn hearing screening is now mandated in over 30 states. A new population of infants, i.e. those who have been identified with hearing impairment at a few weeks of age, has rapidly emerged. These infants require clinical decisions regarding assessment and management at ages much younger than previously encountered. Yet there are no tools or techniques that are sufficiently sensitive or developed for measuring/evaluating progress or benefit of various habilitative strategies in these infants. There is little information available on the auditory/perceptual processing abilities of infants with hearing loss. Information is lacking regarding suprathreshold auditory behaviors, perception of complex sounds, acquisition and organization of information necessary for language acquisition, multimodal perceptual processes, and cognitive factors such as learning and memory. Research that characterizes auditory/perceptual performance in infants with hearing loss is needed to guide clinicians as they evaluate and monitor an infant's auditory and linguistic development in order to identify optimal intervention strategies. Such investigations hold great promise for the refinement of clinical assessment and management tools for these pressing issues in this unique population.
