We are currently seeking 3.5 to 4.5 year-olds with bilateral, sensorineural hearing loss. Eligible children use at least one cochlear implant and/or hearing aid and are developing spoken English. Children who also use signs are eligible to participate. Children with diagnoses, such as autism or Down syndrome, that are known to affect language acquisition are not eligible at this time. If you are interested in signing your child up for the ELLA Study, please contact us at WLL@mailbox.sc.edu or complete the contact form above to be contacted by us.
