Overview

Randomized trial compares narrative skills in children with hearing loss and normal hearing, suggesting educational needs for improvement.

Key Points

  • This study compares narrative skills between children with hearing loss and those with normal hearing, aiming to identify developmental differences.
  • Included 27 children with hearing loss and 27 children with normal hearing aged 4-8 years.
  • Used the Turkish Early Language Development Test and Edmonton Narrative Norms Instrument for assessment.
  • Analyzed narrative skills through story structure, mean length of utterance, and morpheme usage.
  • Children with hearing loss scored significantly lower in narrative skills compared to those with normal hearing (p = 0.000).
  • Significant differences in story structure scores between the groups (A1: p = 0.002; A3: p = 0.029) favoring normal hearing children.
  • Children with hearing loss struggled with making inferences and understanding cause and effect in stories.
