Performance over Time of Congenitally Deaf and Postlingually Deafened Children Using a Multichannel Cochlear Implant.
Fryauf-Bertschy, Holly; And Others
Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v35 n4 p913-20 Aug 1992
The speech perception performance of 10 congenitally deaf and 3 postlingually deafened children who received multichannel cochlear implants were compared at preimplant and 6-month intervals up to 2 years. The congenitally deaf children did not exhibit measurably improved performance until after 12 months or more of implant use, whereas postlingually deafened children had improved by 6 months.
