Keynote Speaker – Christy Vogel, Founder, Sounding Joy Hearing Aid Giving At the age of 11, Christy Vogel was told two things: She was hard of hearing (probably since birth) and she taught herself how to read lips without realizing it. As a child, because she had to put sound and facial expressions together with what she saw while lipreading to figure out what people were saying, she would sometimes respond slowly. People thought she was slow or “stupid.” As she grew into her teens (still without hearing aids because her parents couldn’t afford them), she decided they must be right. See Christy’s TEDx Talk. It wasn’t until Christy was already succeeding in the business world in her 20’s, despite her hearing loss, that she was able to afford her first pair of hearing aids. It changed her world. Finally able to participate and contribute to her full potential, Christy’s career took off. Christy came to the realization in 2021 that she was supposed to be born hard of hearing and unable to afford hearing aids so she could be passionate enough to help others get hearing aids. In March of 2021, she started a nonprofit, Sounding Joy, that provides hearing aids to children whose families can’t afford them.

ABOUT US Supporting Success for Children with Hearing Loss began in 2011 with the goal of creating an ‘umbrella website’ for teachers of the deaf/hard of hearing. Supporting Success was built on the concept of making practical information readily available, resulting in the current resource-packed website. Our mission is to champion the boundless potential of children with hearing loss by providing comprehensive support, innovative resources, and inclusive educational strategies that address their unique needs. We are dedicated to empowering families, educators, and communities with evidence-based tools and expertise that break down communication barriers and foster environments where children with hearing loss can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Through advocacy, education, and collaboration, we strive to create a world where hearing differences are recognized not as limitations but as opportunities for growth, where every child with hearing loss has equitable access to learning, and where their voices—expressed in whatever form they take—are valued, respected, and heard. Core Goals of Supporting Success are:  Providing Resources Provide professionals who work with students who are deaf or hard of hearing and their families the resources to improve the futures of children with hearing loss.  Provide relevant and practical professional development Specifically for teacher of the deaf or hard of hearing and others who support school success of these students: a. Courses for CEUs and videos via Supporting Success Courses b. Offer professional presentations upon invitation to school districts, regional programs, and relevant conference venues c. Offer a biennial conference specific to the interests of itinerant teachers of the deaf and hard of hearing, with practical presentations to improve teacher knowledge and instruction. k Maintain a growing bank of information We provide resources relevant to supporting child development and student success, including Update newsletters with topical information sent to over 15,000 subscribers twice monthly. i Strengthen knowledge on student rights for improved advocacy To improve student eligibility, communication access in school, and appropriate levels of specialized instruction allowing students the opportunity to achieve at the rate and level of their class peers.  Provide products for sale Our products have been specifically selected to support the success of students with hearing loss. We provide information and instructional materials specifically for use with students who are deaf or hard of hearing via Teacher Tools Takeout Subscriptions, Teacher Tools Takeout marketplace, and resources and tools to support families and caregivers of deaf and hard of hearing children. Teachers of the Deaf/Hard of Hearing are “ZEBRA EXPERTS!” Where does the zebra analogy come from? The saying: When you hear hoof beats it is usually horses, not zebras. The use of the zebra symbol is as a reminder of the constant need to advocate for the access needs for students with hearing loss. It is also meant as something to invite the attention and curiosity of school staff who works with these students. All professionals who support students who are deaf or hard of hearing are encouraged to wear/use the zebra symbol! “Given the opportunities to learn language and academic skills through appropriate and efficient modes of communication (full access), a learner with a hearing loss should progress in expected patterns of growth and achievement.” Bunch, G. & Melnyk, T. (1989). American Annals of the Deaf. Over the past 45 years, shifting trends in educational policy have resulted an increase in mainstream placements for students with hearing loss. In 2006, 86.4% of students with hearing loss ages 6-21 were educated in regular schools. Initially, mainstreaming often meant that D/HH students attended separate classes in public schools. Today, such students spend most of their school day in classes with hearing peers, supported by itinerant teachers of the D/HH, interpreters, speech-language pathologists, notetakers/captionists, and resource room teachers. With the move to full inclusion, even students with substantial delays (more than 6 months) have been placed in a regular education setting without direct services from a teacher of the D/HH. Those of us in the field of D/HH need to examine what is required to support the learning and full participation of students with hearing loss (not just in the classroom but in all aspects of the school experience). We need to first fully recognize and be able to explain how students with hearing loss are truly zebras and not horses. Using appropriate assessment information, we need to define what is required for our students to close learning gaps and progress at the rate of class peers. Remediation gaps will require consistent direct instruction to provide the skill building and practice in specific skills and hopefully prevent the gap from widening over time. This saying is popular in the fields of business and medicine and refers to situations when something unusual occurs, it is more likely due to a common cause than a rare or highly unusual cause. Hearing loss is very low incidence compared to other causes educational challenge. When school teams see most children with learning issues they usually have some kind of learning disorder. As indicated by this bar graph, only 1 out of 100 children qualified for specialized services receives services primarily due to being deaf or hard of hearing (source). It is not unusual for school teams to observe a child’s performance and see inattention, difficulty following directions, inconsistent understanding and a slower pace of learning and think that – like most other students with special needs – the child has a learning or language disorder (horses). This is NOT the case! Our students truly are “zebras” because their learning issues stem from ACCESS issues, and not an

As important, early identification of hearing loss allows professionals to work with families to assist them in learning their important role supporting the communication development of their child. The following resources are for use by professionals as they discuss how to facilitate communication development with the families of infants and toddlers who have been identified with permanent hearing loss. Evidence Base for Improving Outcomes of Young Children who are Hard of Hearing The November/December 2015 special supplement to Ear and Hearing provided a in depth, multifaceted longitudinal study of young children who are hard of hearing per the Outcomes of Children with Hearing Loss Study. Interventionists are strongly encouraged to review the specifics of this broad study. The 10 conclusions of this impressive study, as identified, were: 1. 1\. Children with mild-to-severe HL are at risk for depressed language development, and the risk increases with the severity of unaided hearing levels. 2. 2\. Provision of well-fit HAs reduces risk and provides some degree of protection against language delay. Greater aided audibility is associated with better language outcomes in preschool. 3. 3\. A substantial proportion (more than half) of children’s HAs were not fit optimally, which negatively impacted aided audibility. 4. 4\. Early HA provision results in better early language outcomes, but later-fit children demonstrated accelerated growth patterns once aided. 5. 5\. Consistent HA use provides some protection against language delay and supports auditory development. 6. 6\. Qualitative dimensions of caregiver input influence child language outcomes. 7. 7\. Both receptive language abilities and aided audibility influenced children’s functional auditory and speech recognition skills. 8. 8\. Children who are hard of hearing appear to be at particular risk for delays in structural aspects (i.e., form/syntax) of language. 9. 9\. Sole reliance on norm-referenced scores may overestimate the outcomes of children who are hard of hearing. 10. 10\. In summary, aided audibility, HA use, and characteristics of the language environment interact to moderate the influence of HL on children’s outcomes. Webinar: Maximizing Language Acquisition – ASL & Spoken English Provided at no cost by Gallaudet’s Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center, Maximizing Language Acquisition provides an evidence based rationale for supporting language acquisition in both American Sign Language and spoken English for young children who are deaf or hard of hearing. The webinar describes the results of research on language acquisition and clarifies misconceptions in deaf education. To learn more about the webcast click here. CHART: Characteristics of Children as Different Types of Communicators Successful Outcomes Requires Commitment and Focus! Refer here for an example of a contract between the family and early service provider(s): Formula for Success Contract. We had a situation recently, where one of our DHH parent infant teachers arrived at a home visit. The parent continued to play a game on her laptop and nod her head with half interest. The teacher said, “Am I interrupting your game? I made you and your child a priority today and I feel you’re not taking any of this seriously. I’m here for you. Do you want my help?! ” I was so proud of her declaring her commitment to her job and the family. If this contract would have been done at a first home visit, the situation wouldn’t have occurred. Florida Early Interventionist Setting Appropriate Functional Outcomes Part C Early Intervention services require that functional outcomes be specified as part of developing the IFSP. Many people coming from a therapy background are challenged by developing outcomes that are functional, rather than therapeutic. Examples of Functional Outcomes for Early Intervention Services for Young Children with Hearing Loss was developed via a group discussion by early intervention providers serving families of children with hearing loss. It is important to recognize this resource is not a menu to choose from, but rather a list to inspire IFSP teams as they think about how to address the unique needs of children who are deaf or hard of hearing. Included are guidelines for how to develop appropriate functional outcomes. Highly Qualified Early Intervention Providers Sometimes the model of early intervention means that the family will be served by someone who does not specialize in the early learning of children with hearing loss. This resource specifies why this is very important to the early (and lifelong) outcomes of the child. Even when the family receives services from a teacher of the deaf/hard of hearing, sometimes the services of a speech-language pathologist a

These videos were developed based on research (Emanuel, D.C., Alterman, M., Betner, M., & Book, R. (2012). Development of a video for pure tone hearing screening in schools. Journal of Educational Audiology, 17, 62-76). A study of the original video over an 8-year period, including two doctoral thesis projects, indicated the video was as effective as live instruction but that hearing screening trainers wanted more information. So, for the past two years, Diana Emanuel of Towson University, has been working with the audiologists in the Baltimore City School System to revise the video and develop additional information, which is now available in two streaming formats: YouTube and embedded video. These links have been provided below, with permission of Dr. Emanuel (THANKYOU!). Many of the ancillary tools needed for instructions are also included (e.g., sample test items, notes). Don’t skip the second two videos (Commonly asked Questions and Common Mistakes) because there are some useful demonstrations in those!

Here is a site with a state-by-state list of policies related. Source: National Association of State Boards of Education. Presentation for Early Childhood Programs: Why and How to Appropriately Screen Young Children’s Hearing Hearing Screening in Early Childhood– This 60-slide PowerPoint presentation was developed for Coordinators of Early Childhood programs that serve toddlers and preschoolers (Minnesota, but most of the information is applies broadly). Pros and cons of different screening methods are discussed, including paper checklists, otoacoustic emissions (OAE) and pure tone hearing screening. The presentation also includes a section in which participants can experience simulated hearing loss to further their awareness and understanding of the need to identify hearing loss before child development can be compromised. You are encouraged to review the 8-page handout that accompanies the PowerPoint presentation on Hearing Screening in Early Childhood. Guidelines for Hearing Screening After the Newborn Period to Kindergarten Age by MN EHDI, May 2019. Using Noise Cancelling Headphones to Decrease Referral Rates Noise cancelling headphones may be able to increase pure-tone screening test sensitivity, without compromising specificity. Noise cancelling headphones show promise as possible replacements for conventional earphones in school hearing screening programs. See article Recommendations for Childhood Hearing Screening Practices An ‘oldie but goodie’ article reviewing important aspects of hearing screening, referral and follow up: Hearing Conservation in Public Schools Revisited (1991). AAA Childhood Hearing Screening Guidelines 2011 – Karen Anderson, PhD chaired the subcommittee that developed this 78-page document regarding the identification of hearing loss needs for children from 6 months of age through high school. In addition to specific hearing screening protocol recommendations, the document includes background information on prevalence of hearing loss, economic and educational impacts, determining program effectiveness, and considerations for management of hearing screening programs. Health Barriers to Learning: The Prevalence and Educational Consequences in Disadvantaged Children describes the health barriers to learning, including hearing loss, and the supporting evidence base for their impact on academic success. Health Barriers to Learning are health conditions that adversely affect a child’s performance in school. Left untreated or under-managed, the barriers can adversely affect children’s ability to see, hear and pay attention in the classroom, their ability and motivation to learn, their attendance, their academic performance, and even their chances of graduating from high school. This report was developed by the Children’s Health Fund. The report also describes the disproportionate prevalence of health barriers in disadvantaged children, the extent of unmet need for services for identification, management and treatment, and each health barrier’s impact on learning. The report also offers recommendations for better identification, management, and treatment of these barriers. It is intended for programs and advocates to use this literature review to start ready with information on why their schools or programs need certain services to optimally serve children. Children’s Health Fund is working toward becoming a national resource center for dissemination of this important information.

Microtia \= “small ear” – It comes in different grades in terms of how much the outer ear is underdeveloped. Microtia is usually accompanied by aural atresia or ear canal stenosis (narrowed ear canal, no hearing change). Atresia – Aural atresia refers to the absence an external ear canal – always results in hearing loss. Often also malformation of the external ear and middle ear, but the inner ear and auditory nerve are frequently normal. A narrowed ear canal is called a stenotic canal or referred to as ear canal stenosis, which may not affect hearing. Congenital microtia/aural atresia is rare with an incidence of 1:10,000 births More than 75% of these cases are unilateral, resulting in maximum conductive hearing loss (around 60 dB HL) In approximately 25% of cases, the “normal” ear in patients who have one-sided may also have a hearing loss on their normal appearing ear. Accompanying aural atresia: Approximately 12% have a heart deformation Approximately 8% have a kidney deformation Greater risk to develop cholesteatoma Atresia and microtia may be associated with syndromes including: Treacher Collins, Crouzon’s, Apert’s, Klippel-Feil, Preiffer Website for families of children with microtia or atresia: www.earcommunity.com Improvement via Reconstructive Surgery for Children with Deformed Ears Ability to listen binaurally was measured after surgery for unilateral conductive HL – results within the normal range No difference in outcomes based on age at time of surgery – 10 yrs to 45 yrs Conclusion – no convincing evidence of benefit of early reconstructive surgery for unilateral conductive hearing loss Reconstructive surgery for bilateral conductive hearing loss results in worse hearing ability than that achieved from bone-anchored hearing solutions (BAHA) BAHA eliminates the conductive hearing loss at most frequencies versus 25-30 dB of conductive hearing loss remaining after reconstructive surgery (this is true only after the BAHA has been implanted). Permanent conductive hearing loss can also be caused by malformation of or damage to the middle ear structures. Examples would be congenital or early onset of otosclerosis (calcium deposits develop on middle ear bones), middle ear structures damaged due to cholesteatoma, or changes to the eardrum and ossicles due to continuous middle ear disease (chronic ear infections). Amplification Options for Children with Conductive Hearing Loss Did you know? 2 Ears 2 Learn 2 Ears 2 Learn is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that assists eligible families of children with aural atresia obtain a bone conduction hearing device (aka BAHA or Pronto Pro) at no cost. The organization refurbishes bone conduction devices for families who cannot afford a new processor, or whose insurance company has denied coverage. The group has helped children in Idaho for 2 years and is now expanding nationwide. The organization is run by Dr. Russell Griffiths, MD, board certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon.

Standard hearing aids, especially if the hearing loss is not at the maximum conductive hearing loss level (loss is better than 50+ dB HL) 2\. CROS hearing aid (for unilateral issues) has been found to be ineffective or detrimental to listening for school-age children in typical classroom settings 3\. Traditional bone conduction hearing aid 4\. BAHA with soft band 5\. BAHA implanted (i.e., Oticon Ponto) The anchoring the device to bone provides an advantage of 10 to 15 dB, especially at the high frequencies of vital importance to proper speech recognition in noise. Compared to conventional bone conductors, the BAHA system has better gain at the high frequencies and less distortion. Surgical options to open up the ear canal typically does not restore normal hearing (-10 – +15 dB HL) nor does a traditional bone conduction hearing aid whereas a bone anchored device can improve hearing to approximately 15 dB HL Research results: Support for Families: The Ear Foundation: BAHA Users Support Website for families of children with microtia or atresia: www.earcommunity.com Company Links About Us Our Team Opportunities Free Newsletter Teacher Tools Takeout Supporting Success Courses Helpful Links Shipping/Returns Purchase Orders Refunds Terms of Use Privacy Policy My Account Contact Form Mailing Address: Success for Children with Hearing Loss 3201 Loop 306, Suite 60091, San Angelo, TX 76904 888-963-8991 Click to Contact Copyright © 2023 Success for Kids with Hearing Loss, All Rights Reserved.

Go to their website for the complete information. This is an incredible tool provided at no cost. Thanks, thanks, thanks to the Emily Fu Foundation! The hearing in noise module is great to show parents that even though their child may be functioning at or above grade level, noise in the classroom or at home can be devastating for understanding speech. Angel SoundTM, an interactive auditory training and hearing assessment program that lets you take control of a child’s listening rehabilitation independently, including administering a functional hearing assessment at home or school. The child gains practice in discriminating and identifying sounds and speech components through a series of self-paced modules that cover different aspects of the listening process. The level of difficulty is automatically adjusted to match the child’s developing listening skills. The program provides audio-visual feedback, highlighting areas the child can continue to practice. The training and testing results can be shared with others who support the child. Focused on practice and improvement of the child’s listening skills, Angel SoundTM compliments other clinic rehabilitation and functional hearing test programs. Angel SoundTM is an UPGRADED and FREEversion of “Sound and WAY Beyond”, an auditory rehabilitation program based on CAST technology and distributed by Cochlear Americas. Click here for a quick video on how to use Angel Sound materials. Information on Installing Angel Sound HERE It also works on an iPad! Angel SoundTMincludes more advanced training protocols (i.e., bilateral training procedures, advanced psychophysical training protocols, animated audio and visual feedback, remote data access, and advanced training customization with favorite setting) than Sound and WAY Beyond. Click here to learn more about the different training modules. Look through the Quick Start Guide. Also, Angel SoundTM has more advanced training modules (i.e., comprehensive music training, auditory resolution training, and functional hearing test module). The functional hearing test module provides a perfect tool to self-assess a child’s functional hearing with a variety of speech and music recognition tests, including auditory resolution, phoneme, music, speech in quiet and noise, and auditory cognition (short-term memory) etc. Unfortunately, the individual student scores cannot be saved – just write down the scores as you go through the assessment portion of Angel Sound. Refer to the website for more information on which students would benefit and how best to apply the tool.
