Abstract

To determine for the effect of age (late versus early age) on the cochlear implant outcomes; in terms of language development, auditory skills, speech perception, and production outcomes). 67 children were included in the study out of 93 implanted cases in the study period. Children were classified into 2 groups according to age at time of implantation. Group 1 contained 43 children who were implanted before the age of 5 years. Group 2 contained 24 children who were implanted after the age of 5 years. All children were evaluated pre-operatively and at 3, 6, 12, 24 months device experience using the language screening test, Standardized Arabic Language test, Listening Progress Profile (LiP Test), the Monosyllabic-Trochee-polysyllabic Test (MTP), and the meaningful Auditory Integration Scale (MAIS) Test. Charts with incomplete data were excluded. Only 67 children had complete data out of 93 patients. The mean age (in months) for Group 1 was (43.37±8.63) and for Group 2 was (70.38±9.97) at time of implantation. Significantly higher mean values were detected for Group 2 in comparison to Group 1 in the pre-operative period. No significant difference was detected after 2 years evaluation using the test battery for language developmen...Continue Reading
