OBJECTIVE
To document progress, benefit and importance of age in paediatric cochlear implantation.
DESIGN
The EARS (Evaluation of Auditory Responses to Speech) test battery was performed on 33 prelingually deaf children at regular intervals up to 36 months following implantation. All children participated in individually tailored intensive audiological rehabilitation programs after receiving their implants. In this respect, it was attempted to evaluate speech perception scores in children implanted before and after the age of 3 in a homogenous group.
RESULTS
All children demonstrated encouraging improvements over time in their speech recognition abilities. Furthermore, it was observed that the children who were implanted under the age of 3 achieved higher levels of speech perception performance.
CONCLUSION
In order to shorten the process of central maturation of the auditory system, it is desirable to implant the children as young as possible. Early intervention seems to be the ideal strategy in enabling prelingually deaf children to derive maximum benefit from cochlear implantation.
目的
记录小儿人工耳蜗植入中年龄的进展、益处及重要性。
设计
对33名语前聋儿童在植入后长达36个月的时间里定期进行EARS（言语听觉反应评估）测试组。所有儿童在接受植入后都参加了量身定制的强化听力学康复计划。在这方面，试图在一个同质组中评估3岁前后植入儿童的言语感知分数。
结果
所有儿童随着时间推移在言语识别能力上都表现出令人鼓舞的改善。此外，观察到3岁以下植入的儿童达到了更高水平的言语感知表现。
结论
为了缩短听觉系统中枢成熟的过程，希望尽可能早地为儿童植入。早期干预似乎是使语前聋儿童从人工耳蜗植入中获得最大益处的理想策略。
