The goal of this study is to evaluate the sensitivity of a newly-developed prototype device in its ability to measure brain responses to speech sounds in an infant population. The main research questions are: 1) Is the prototype sensitive to brain response differences from infants with hearing loss with and without hearing aids? and 2) How do the measured brain responses from infants with hearing loss compare to infants with normal hearing who are the same age? Participants will have their brain responses measured using the prototype in response to average-level non-sense speech sounds across 1 to 2 sessions in a "no-hearing aids" condition. Participants with hearing loss who are already fit with hearing aids will additionally undergo a "with hearing aids" recording condition.

Speech-Evoked Envelope Following Responses (EFRs) Agreement with Hearing Assessment
Timeframe: Outcomes are assessed during the initial recording session (Day 1). When two sessions are required, outcome data collection is completed within 2 weeks of the first session.
