Abstract

Children whose hearing loss was identified early and had early interventions had significantly better outcome regarding speech and language. The NHSP’s success is closely related to parents’ attitudes and satisfaction with the process.

The success of the intervention plans also depends on parents’ comfort, satisfied parents will be more cooperative and more compliant with treatment.
