This study examined auditory functionality and early use of speech in a group of paediatric cochlear implant users. Parents of 33 implanted children from the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Cochlear Implant Program were interviewed using the Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale (MAIS) and the Meaningful Use of Speech Scale (MUSS). In general, higher MAIS scores post-implantation were significantly associated with higher MUSS scores suggesting that those with better functional hearing with the implant were also better in using spontaneous speech to communicate. Multiple regression analyses showed that several time factors significantly correlated with the MAIS scores post-implantation but not with the MUSS.
本研究调查了一组小儿人工耳蜗使用者的听觉功能及言语早期使用情况。采用有意义听觉整合量表（MAIS）和言语有意义使用量表（MUSS），对来自马来西亚国民大学人工耳蜗项目的33名植入儿童的家长进行了访谈。总体而言，植入后MAIS得分较高与MUSS得分较高显著相关，这表明人工耳蜗听觉功能较好的儿童在使用自发言语进行交流方面也表现更佳。多元回归分析显示，几个时间因素与植入后MAIS得分显著相关，但与MUSS得分无关。
