Language outcomes of children with hearing loss remain heterogeneous despite recent advances in treatment and intervention. Consonants with high frequency, in particular, continue to pose challenges to affected children’s speech perception and production. In this review, we evaluate findings of how enriched child-directed speech and song might function as a form of early family-centered intervention to remedy the effects of hearing loss on consonant acquisition already during infancy. First, we review the developmental trajectory of consonant acquisition and how it is impeded by permanent pediatric hearing loss. Second, we assess how phonetic-prosodic and lexico-structural features of caregiver speech and song could facilitate acquisition of consonants in the high frequency range. Finally, recommendations for clinical routines and further research are expressed.
