Study Summary

This trial studies how social factors influence how infants aged 7-18 months learn speech, with a focus on how those with hearing loss can benefit from extra reinforcement.

Who is the study for?
This study is for infants about 7-18 months old with either typical hearing or sensorineural hearing loss. They must have at least one parent who speaks English or Spanish and can participate in the study. Infants not exposed to these languages, or without a participating parent, cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial examines how social interactions affect speech learning in infants. It involves parents playing with their child and saying nonsense words, which are then played back to the infant to see if it influences vocal learning.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this study focuses on social interaction and vocal exercises rather than medical interventions, there are no direct side effects associated with traditional clinical trials.
