Objectives : The study aimed to investigate whether walking age, receptive, and expressive language
profiles differ between speech delay children with hearing loss and speech delay children without
hearing loss; to identify walking age, receptive, and expressive profiles between speech delay children
with hearing loss and speech delay children without hearing loss.
Methods : The study is an observational analytic with retrospective cross-sectional design using
medical records data for two years. Data was collected using a total sampling technique.
Results : The study involved 92 children with speech delay, consisting 72 children in the hearing loss
group and 20 children in the normal hearing group. The average age at walk as gross motoric profile
shows that speech delays children with hearing loss have an average age that is later than speech delays
children without hearing loss. Also, walking age significantly differs between children with speech
delay in hearing loss group and normal hearing group. Both receptive and expressive language profiles
show no different between the groups.
Conclusions : Findings have consequences for consideration motor developmental delay in children with
speech delay, especially in hearing loss group. So that, the findings can be a reference to consideration
in further management basis for speech delay interventions with and without hearing loss in children.
