Abstract

Early intervention for hearing-impaired children is crucial for fostering language development, cognitive skills, and social integration. This paper explores the impact of early identification and timely intervention on the developmental outcomes of children with hearing impairments. Using recent studies and data, it examines the importance of early screening, the role of hearing aids and cochlear implants, family involvement, and tailored educational strategies. The findings highlight that early intervention significantly improves language acquisition, academic performance, and psychosocial well-being. The paper concludes with recommendations for policymakers and practitioners to strengthen early intervention programs.
