Auditory Speech Perception Capacity of Child Implant Users Expressed as Equivalent Hearing Loss.

Boothroyd, Arthur; Eran, Orna

Volta Review, v96 n5 p151-67 Nov 1994

An imitative test of speech pattern contrast perception was administered to profoundly deaf children using hearing aids (n=76) or cochlear implants (n=18). Implant users performed, on average, similarly to individuals with an 88 decibel hearing loss, indicating that implant use can provide auditory speech perception capacity similar to that of severely deaf children who wear hearing aids.
