Lily and her "hearing enabled" colleagues are on the forefront of a generation of kids who are able to maximize technology to hear.
Because of this, we believe it's important to participate in hearing research whenever possible. We do it both to benefit Lily's future and the families that will walk in our path. Over Lily's lifetime we've done a half-dozen studies on language learning and listening.
This summer, Lily will add two more to her research resume. One study earlier this summer involved a research van coming to our home. Lily completed numerous listening and language tasks, in the van, to help the University of Iowa understand how kids with hearing loss are learning language, compared to their typically hearing peers.
The next study will be at Boystown in a few weeks which involves telelearning or telemedicine. Boystown is studying if providing audiology services for children on-line is as effective as in person mapping. Here's an Interesting article describing Boystown's future hearing research focus.
