Since its introduction, iHear has already gained a reputation for producing results for children with hearing loss. Because iHear’s real-time, secure video-conferencing software replicates an in-person therapy session, iHear therapists are able to build close relationships with children and their families through the personalized sessions. In addition, with the parent in the role of coach, therapy is very hands-on.
In June we collected the standardized scores for children enrolled in the iHear program according to iTOTS. The results of the assessment demonstrate that the children enrolled in the program continue to make good growth. In the last six months 82% of children age 0-6 increased their growth scores, 100% of children age 7 above increased their growth scores with a total of 91% of children enrolled in the iHear program between November of 2013 and June of 014 increasing their growth scores according to standardized assessments.
