Abstract

The objective of this study was to estimate the impact of cochlear implantation on the cost of compulsory education of hearing-impaired children in the United Kingdom. In a cross-sectional survey, teachers were asked to report the school placement of, and amount of support provided to, a representative sample of hearing-impaired children. Costs of school placement were obtained from published sources. Costs of support were calculated from a survey of 11 special education services. The annual education cost (in euros at 2001/2002 levels) of each child was calculated by summing the placement and support costs. Linear regression analyses calculated the association between annual education cost and possession of an implant while controlling nine other variables: average (unaided, preoperative) hearing level (AHL), age at onset of hearing impairment, age, gender, the number of additional disabilities, parental occupational skill level, ethnicity, parental hearing status, and academic achievement. Data were received for 2241 children, 383 of whom had cochlear implants. Mean annual education cost ranged from 15,745 euros for children with moderate hearing impairments to 30,071 euros for nonimplanted children with profound hearing impa...Continue Reading
