Auditory memory span in Mandarin-speaking preschoolers with congenital hearing loss: Impact of task structure.

Conclusions: When speech processes are not required in an auditory working memory task, demand for the phonological loop is reduced and the children with hearing loss are able to perform as well as the hearing children. Moreover, the auditory memory span develops at the same rate for the children with hearing loss as for the hearing children.
