Explain the difference between prelingual and postlingual hearing loss and why age of onset is relevant to the educational needs of a child with a hearing impairment.
Prelingual loss occurs before the development of spoken language, approximately before age 2. Postlingual hearing loss occurs after spoken language develops, usually after age 2. The education of a child with prelingual loss will probably focus on language and communication acquisition; education of a child with postlingual loss will probably focus on maintaining intelligible speech and appropriate language patterns.
