Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, v42 n2 p497-511 Apr 1999
English language achievement of 29 prelingually deaf children with three or more years of cochlear implant (CI) experience was compared to the achievement levels of 29 prelingually deaf children with hearing aids. CI users performed better than comparison subjects on signed and spoken English grammar and length of CI experience was significantly correlated with scores on the Index of Productive Syntax measure.
