/Objectives: Childhood hearing loss (HL) affects auditory, linguistic, and social development. Alongside conventional rehabilitation, music-based interventions have gained increasing attention for their potential to support both auditory and non-auditory domains. This narrative review aims to summarize current evidence on the use of music-based interventions in children with HL.
Music-based interventions show promise as an adjunct to standard auditory rehabilitation in children with hearing loss, but the narrative review design limits causal conclusions; audiologists and educators can consider music programs as supplementary tools without changing core practice based on this review alone.
Music-based interventions represent an accessible, low-risk adjunct to conventional pediatric hearing rehabilitation that could improve auditory, linguistic, and social outcomes for children with hearing loss.
