Abstract: Children with hearing loss are at risk for delays in language development, even with early intervention through hearing aids or cochlear implants. This study examined whether supplemental listening and spoken language therapy leads to improvements in behavioral language outcomes and cortical maturation in children with treated hearing loss. Thirty-nine children were assessed at baseline and after approximately six months of therapy using the Preschool Language Scales (PLS-5) and cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEP). Results revealed language gains exceeding expected maturation, with children showing nine to ten months of progress in total language and expressive communication over six months. CAEP latencies decreased at accelerated rates, and improvements in CAEPs were correlated with behavioral gains. Findings suggest that supplemental therapy promotes neuroplasticity and language growth in children with hearing loss. These effects are likely to be independent of the specific spoken language, though future research should confirm this across diverse linguistic populations.
