This integrative review synthesises two related but distinct fields: and . Both fields involve medical evaluations for permanent hearing loss, yet they differ in their perspectives, timing, and target populations. By integrating these bodies of literature, this review introduces a novel, treatment-focused approach to the medical investigation of permanent prelingual hearing loss. Given that the first two years of life represent a critical period for neural plasticity and brain development, this approach holds significant potential for improving patient outcomes. Additionally, it offers opportunities to enhance clinical efficiency and advance equity in the management of childhood hearing loss.
[具体领域1]和[具体领域2]。这两个领域都涉及对永久性听力损失的医学评估，但在观点、时间和目标人群方面存在差异。通过整合这些文献，本综述引入了一种新颖的、以治疗为重点的方法来对永久性语前听力损失进行医学研究。鉴于生命的头两年是神经可塑性和大脑发育的关键时期，这种方法在改善患者预后方面具有巨大潜力。此外，它还为提高临床效率和推进儿童听力损失管理的公平性提供了机会。
