Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.
