steps are the stages in the auditory heirarchy that would typically be followed after cochlear implantation.

Discrimination
• Report whether two items are same or different.
Identificiation
• Selection from closed set* (3 > 4 > 5 etc)

Stage 2. Associating Meaning to Sound
Identification is where the child associates or selects an object, picture or situation based on spoken words. To select, a child
needs to remember what they heard. The development of auditory memory enables a child to hear, remember and process
increasingly more information through listening.
1. Distinguish changes in vocal length (duration: long & short)
Sound Object Association (➔ means a long continuous sound)

Stage 4. Identification
Discrimination is the ability to hear the difference between different sounds. This might be detecting the difference between
the noise made by a cat and dog or a finer detections of the letters m and n.
Pattern PercePtion
In this stage, the child begins to associate a sound with its related object and starts to recognize familiar phrases. Sounds are
now becoming meaningful.

”

Always present the sound in association with the name of the toy. (eg. The
bus goes ‘bu-bu-bu.’) Say the sound before the child sees the toy. Once the
toy is visible, repeat the object name and sounds while the child plays with
it. Use the waiting strategy after saying the sound so that your baby has
the opportunity to process and imitate it.
5. Perceive differences in word length
These phrases incorporate a number of vocabulary groups such as nouns, verbs and
pronouns. Learning to identify, understand and use these phrases is an important step
in language development. Daily routines in natural settings are the best way to practice
these and other familiar phrases (LLT p 59). They can also be found on the back of the 6
sounds cards available on our website – www.cochlear.com

What is the Ling 6 sound Test?
The Ling 6 Sound Test was developed as a quick and
easy test that parents and professionals can use to
check their child’s hearing. The test checks that the child
can hear (detection) and in time recognize each sound
(identification) across the different speech frequencies.
The test also checks that the cochlear implant system is working.

Auditory Memory
Stage 3. Discrimination – Suprasegmental
Sound awareness is the first step in learning to listen. The child starts to detect or respond to sounds around her/him. At
first we would draw attention to the sounds around us such as voices and loud sounds in the environment and observe the
child’s reactions (stilling, smile or eye movement).

Children love to listen to their favorite story many times and will start to retell it to others. Help your child progress from
listening to many repetitions to listening to a story once only, then retelling it in sequence including as many details as
possible. (See My Experience Book http://www.cochlear.com/au/my-experience-book).

Questioning is a common strategy used to check a child’s understanding of what they heard and to encourage
vocal responses. As your child’s language develops, the child’s response to questions should be more than a one
word answer. You can ask questions that are more complex so that your child learns to reason, express ideas, feelings and
develop the skills of problem solving, predicting and understanding cause and effect. (See Integrated Scales of Development and SFB).

Use a singsong voice. This is
typical of how adults speak
and interact with babies. The
more interesting your voice
is, the more motivation for
the child to respond.

Develop turn taking. Oral
communication involves taking
turns at listening and talking. To
develop turn taking you should
vocalize, wait for your child to
vocalize, then repeat what they say.

Establish joint attention. Develop
the ability to share attention with

an object while
talking about it.
Cue into listening. This is to
focus attention and alert
child to sound. Point to
your ear and say, excitedly,
‘Listen!’ or ‘I heard that! Did
you hear that?’
Have auditory input first. Say sound a
few times: ‘MOOOO’ with toy hidden
then show toy and say moo again.

Stage 5. Auditory Sequencing
As the child moves beyond two item auditory memory (see Poster ‘Auditory Memory’), auditory sequencing is an important
skill to be developed. It is necessary for children to be able to retell stories, jokes and riddles, follow sequential directions
and recount events they have heard. The child needs to remember things in the correct order. This skill can be developed
with nursery rhymes, songs, games and stories.

• Twinkle twinkle little star
• How I wonder what you are
• Up above the world so high
• Like a diamond in the sky

Associates meaning to sound
Be alert to child’s response to
sounds around them and use
every opportunity to make the
association between the sound
and what it represents.
Use phrase and simple sentences
The basic language is a sentence and it is important
that this be the input from adults rather than single
words. In a phrase or sentence there is more acoustic
information and more time to process.
Capture your child’s attention
Your child will learn best in meaningful situations
and when his/her attention is focused.
Use repetition
Most young children need to hear language
repeated in a variety of contexts before they
process, comprehend and use it. Repetition is
a natural strategy to use at the beginning of
developing spoken language.
Up we go!
15
Model correct language
Use the correct grammar and
pronunciation when speaking to your
child and repeating her utterances.
Expand vocabulary and
extend language
This is done by introducing
language that is slightly more
complex than your child’s
present expressive level.
Eg. Places to live – House,
castle, high rise apartments,
caravan, tepee, etc.

Roll the ball!
Use questioning –
appropriate to
the child’s level
of language
development.
See SFB, and ISD
30 Cochlear Re/Habilitation Resources 2015
19
Use auditory close
This is the strategy of
starting a sentence and
waiting for your child
to finish it. Eg, Twinkle
twinkle little…
Make it fun!
When children are actively participating and enjoying themselves,
the most learning will occur. This is a very important strategy.
Children love to have fun.

Use pausing, waiting
When you speak to your child, wait
before speaking again, giving her
time to respond vocally. Make it clear
that you are waiting for a response.
