Improvements in Speech Perception by Children with Profound Prelingual Hearing Loss: Effects of Device, Communication Mode, and Chronological Age.

Meyer, Ted A.; Svirsky, Mario A.; Kirk, Karen I.; Miyamoto, Richard T.

This study compared the speech perception skills over time (mean = 3.5 years) of 74 prelingually deaf children using cochlear implants with the predicted speech perception skills of 58 similar children using hearing aids. Generally, speech perception scores for the children using cochlear implants were higher that those predicted for children with a 101-110 dB hearing loss using hearing aids. (Author/DB)
