Spoken Sentence Complexity and Grammar Use in Children with CIs
This study investigated if the language profiles of prelingually deaf children with bilateral cochlear implants (CIs) and children with typical hearing (TH) matched on their quantitative score on clinical spoken expressive language tasks differed in terms of sentence complexity, sentence length, and severity of grammatical errors. No significant differences were found between the groups in terms of (1) proportion of simple, conjoined, and complex sentences; (2) mean length of utterance based on words and syllables; and (3) proportion of local and global grammatical errors. The results indicate that the quantitative scores ...

Theory of Mind and Parental Mental-State Talk in Children with CIs
This study investigated ToM and availability of parental MST in deaf children with CIs (n = 39,Mage = 62.92, SD = 15.23) in comparison with their peers with typical hearing (TH;n = 52,Mage = 52.48, SD = 1.07). MST was measured during shared storybook reading. Parents’ narratives were coded for cognitive, emotional, literal, and non-mental references. ToM was measured with a parental questionnaire. Children with CIs had lower ToM scores than their peers with TH, and their pa rents used more literal references during shared storybook reading. There were no significant differences in the frequencies ...

Social Networking Site Usage of Middle-Aged and Older Deaf Adults
This study further showed that SNS interactions with hearing individuals were significantly more accessible than in-person interactions. The thematic analysis of the qualitative data revealed four key themes: exposure and representation, accessibility and social connection, privacy, and id eological polarization. The overall feelings towards these platforms were positive. SNS platforms allowed for increased accessibility through reducing communication barriers. Additionally, as SNS platforms have become increasingly prevalent, participants noted increased representation of the Deaf co mmunity within movies and television. ...

Introducing the READY Study: DHH Young people ’s Well-Being and Self-Determination
This article introduces the cohort of 163 DHH young people, background characteristics and study design. Focusing on self-determination and subjective well-being only, those who completed the assessments in written English (n  = 133) score significantly lower than general population comparators. Sociodemographic variables explain very little of the variance in well-being scores; higher levels of self-determination are a predictor of higher levels of well-being, outweighing the influence of any background characteristics. Although women and those who are LGBTQ+ have statistically significantly lower well-being scores, th...

Theory of Mind and Alexithymia in Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Young Adults
AbstractThe aim of the current study was to examine theory of mind (ToM), the ability to infer the mental states of others, in young adults who are deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH), and to explore the influence of alexithymia, an inability to understand emotions of the self and others, on ToM performance in this group. Compared to participants with typical hearing, DHH participants displayed significantly lower affective ToM skills and greater alexithymia. After accounting for verbal intelligence quotient, hearing status and alexithymia significantly contributed to poorer ToM performance, accounting for over 14% of the varia...

Language Use and Identity in Minority Hungarian and Hungarian –Romanian Deaf Families
AbstractThis paper discusses language use and identity patterns in families set up by deaf partners living in Romania, where at least one of the spouses belongs to the ethnic Hungarian minority.

The research is based on a survey conducted among members of the ethnic Hungarian Deaf community (including ethnic Romanian spouses), life-path interviews with selected deaf persons and interviews with special school educators.

Parent-Reported Stress and Child Behavior for 4-Year-Old Children with Unilateral or Mild Bilateral Hearing Loss
This study aimed to examine child behavior and parenting stress in parents of children with unilateral/mild bilateral hearing loss compared to children with typical hearing. This prospective study involved 54 children with unilateral/mild bilateral hearing loss identified at a median age of 4.5  months (IQR 2.6, 6.5) and 42 children with typical hearing. At age 48 months, child behavior and parenting stress were measured. Auditory and language results were also analyzed in relation to child behavior and parenting stress.

Family Systems and Emotional Functioning in Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing Preschool Children
This study examined how deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) and typically hearing (TH) children may differ in their family system and emotional functioning and examined the relations between family system and children ’s emotional functioning. Parents of 106 DHH and 99 TH children (2–6 years) reported on family cohesion and adaptability, parental emotion communication, and their child’s emotional functioning. The DHH children were rated lower on family cohesion and positive emotion expression than the TH c hildren. Higher levels of family cohesion related to more positive emotion expression in TH children but not in DHH c...
