Cochlear implantation is a powerful tool for helping children with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss to gain the ability to hear, achieve age appropriate communication skills. However patient selection is of utmost importance to achieve optimum results.
A cross sectional study was done on 75 children who had undergone unilateral cochlear implantation. Hearing was assessed by, The Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale (MAIS) and speech perception was assessed by the Meaningful Use of Speech Scale (MUSS) as a parent reported scale in an interview format.
The cochlear implantation improved auditory skills and speech perception of the children who underwent cochlear implantation. Children who had less than 40 months auditory deprivation and those who had higher educated parents had better auditory skills and speech perception.
Early cochlear implantation and good auditory verbal therapy have better outcomes of hearing and speech.
人工耳蜗植入是帮助重度至极重度感音神经性听力损失儿童获得听力并实现与其年龄相适应的沟通能力的有力工具。然而，患者选择对于取得最佳效果至关重要。
对75名单侧人工耳蜗植入儿童进行了一项横断面研究。听力通过有意义听觉整合量表（MAIS）进行评估，言语感知通过言语有意义使用量表（MUSS）进行评估，该量表是一种家长以访谈形式报告的量表。
人工耳蜗植入改善了接受人工耳蜗植入儿童的听觉技能和言语感知。听觉剥夺少于40个月的儿童以及父母受教育程度较高的儿童具有更好的听觉技能和言语感知。
早期人工耳蜗植入和良好的听觉言语治疗对听力和言语有更好的效果。
