This tool is now incorporated into clinical speech perception assessment protocols at University of Colorado Hospital Uses/Benefits: Gain knowledge about the auditory and linguistic development of infants with hearing loss and how it may or may not differ from infants without hearing loss Improve hearing aid and cochlear implant technology for infants Assess and improve habilitation (i.e., therapy) techniques for infants with hearing loss Learn more about the psychoacoustic/neurological properties of hard of hearing babies auditory systems Improve and individualize the fitting/programming of hearing aids through speech discrimination testing of infants in the clinic 5
