Efficacy of Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy on the Performance of Hearing Aid User Children

Abstract

Hearing is fundamental for children’s language acquisition, cognitive development, and social integration. Hearing loss, when unmanaged, can negatively influence communication, education, and emotional well-being. Despite the proven benefits of hearing aids, many children refuse their use due to stigma, poor device satisfaction, or psychological barriers. This highlights the need for supportive therapeutic approaches addressing emotional and behavioral aspects of hearing aid adaptation.
