What are the pros and cons of teaching deaf children sign language?

Evaluating the pros and cons of teaching sign language to a child with a severe-to-profound hearing loss (who cannot benefit from the use of hearing aids) should take into account several important factors. A child who is born with a hearing loss that is inherited genetically and whose parents are also deaf will grow up learning sign language. Using sign language, the child will communicate effectively with family members and probably an extended deaf community. Effective communication with family members is definitely a "pro" of teaching sign language to a relatively small proportion of deaf children. However, a child relying exclusively on sign language typically is not able to communicate easily and effectively with most hearing persons. That's the primary "con" of teaching to a child who is deaf sign language as the primary method of communication. Most children with deafness are born to hearing parents. Nowadays, the family of a child newly identified with profound hearing loss is always given the option of management first with hearing aids and then, after a trial period of 3 months or more, the possibility of a cochlear implant. A cochlear implant is a complex device that converts sound to electrical signals that activate the hearing nerve directly. Cochlear implantation is followed by intensive auditory rehabilitation and speech-language therapy to develop effective oral communication (speaking and hearing). Children who receive a cochlear implant in the first few years after birth typically develop good speech and language skills. Children benefiting from cochlear implantation go to school with hearing children, speak on the telephone, function quite well in various communication settings, and have the same opportunities for work and higher education as hearing children. Informed decisions about communication method and education of children with deafness are generally made soon after birth by the child's parents, with accurate and up-to-date information supplied by audiologists, physicians, and other health care professionals. Consideration of sign language doesn't need to be an either/or decision. Children with deafness who receive a cochlear implant during the first few years after birth can, with proper rehabilitation ,develop oral language like hearing children while they also also learn sign language. These fortunate children grow up essentially bilingual, just as children who are exposed on a daily basis to two languages (like English and Spanish) become naturally bilingual speakers.

When does hearing reach maturity?

Hearing typically reaches maturity during early childhood, around the age of 4 to 5 years. By this age, children have developed the ability to process and understand sounds, language, and auditory cues effectively. However, aspects of auditory perception and processing can continue to refine into adolescence. Overall, the foundational elements of hearing are established by early childhood.

Which Children learn faster deaf children or hearing children?

Neither. Although there are always individual differences, there is no reason to believe that a deaf child would be either more or less intelligent than a hearing child. Studies have shown that when exposed to sign language during infancy deaf children go through all the same stages of language development at the same ages as hearing children.

The main barrier between the deaf and hearing world is?

language. English can be a very difficult language to learn, especially if you can not hear it or of you have not been hearing it for most of your life. hearing children learn how to speak very young by listening to their parents, deaf children on the other hand cant hear it so they don't get all the language. if a child is raised in a signing family (the family signs) then they may, depending on the sign language used, have a hard tome learning English do to it being a auditory language.

When was Children's Hearing created?

Children's Hearing was created in 1971.
