This module is based on a webinar delivered as part of a six-part webinar series by the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children to share the research outcomes from the National Acoustic Laboratories and the HEARing Cooperative Research Centre’s (CRC) Longitudinal Outcomes of Children with Hearing Impairment study (LOCHI Study). The module is delivered in three distinct parts. The first two parts of the module explain the outcomes from two specific studies:
• Study 1: Mixed methods study exploring the perspectives of parents regarding the information and personal/emotional support received at diagnosis; and
• Study 2: A qualitative descriptive study exploring the nature of parental involvement and the factors that influenced parental involvement in the intervention of children with hearing loss.
The final part of the module explains the clinical significance of the research findings from both studies.
