No deleterious effects of electrical stimulation on deafened young monkeys were noted using the behavioral techniques described. Due to the small size of this study and the variability of individual monkey behavior, it is impossible to draw definitive conclusions from this study. However, the results strongly suggest that deafened young monkeys with functioning cochlear implants showed apparent improvement in social behavior over deafened nonimplanted subjects. These changes may result from environmental and vocalization sound awareness and/or prevention of auditory deprivation provided by the prosthesis.
使用所述行为技术未发现电刺激对致聋幼猴有有害影响。由于本研究规模较小且个体猴行为存在变异性，无法从本研究得出明确结论。然而，结果强烈表明，植入人工耳蜗且功能正常的致聋幼猴与未植入人工耳蜗的致聋幼猴相比，社交行为有明显改善。这些变化可能源于环境和发声声音意识及/或假体提供的听觉剥夺预防。
