Abstract	Prelingual hearing loss greatly restricts a child's language development, hindering his or her behavioral, cognitive, and social functioning. Although technology such as hearing aids and cochlear implants provide access to sound, infants and children also need habilitation to develop skills. These skills include learning to listen, or attend, to process language (whether visual or spoken), and to produce language and communicate. Home visiting is widely recognized as a cost-effective intervention service delivery model. Home visiting programs for promoting language development in children who are diagnosed as deaf or hard of hearing have been in existence for over 50 years, yet there is limited evidence of their effectiveness. This review was undertaken to assess the evidence of effectiveness of home visiting in children with prelingual hearing loss. While many studies have examined early intervention for children who are deaf or hard of hearing, few are published from specific home visiting programs meeting the criteria for inclusion in this review. Studies from specific home visiting program models designed to meet the needs of the target population are needed to examine the effectiveness of promoting language development within the context of a home visiting program for children who are deaf or hard of hearing and their families.
