When your child is diagnosed with a hearing loss, there are many steps to understanding their diagnosis and getting them the timely care and interventions they need to support development and language access. Our Pediatric Deaf and Hard of Hearing Collaborative team is here for you every step of the way. We provide family-centered interdisciplinary care to support your child's development from birth through young adulthood so they can thrive and reach their full potential.

Deaf and Hard of Hearing Research Overview
The primary research aim of this interdisciplinary, community-informed collaborative program is to examine barriers and facilitators to care for deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children and their families and develop interventions that support families in accessing hearing-related healthcare and language-based interventions, including sign language, and hearing technologies such as hearing aids and cochlear implants where appropriate. In this way, we aim to translate research on what is known about how DHH children learn, grow, and thrive into clinical practice and care delivery. We hope to improve the lives of our patients and their families and inform the policies that shape the care of all DHH children.
