Cochlear implants have been proven to improve speech and language in children with severe-to-profound hearing loss. This review examines speech and language outcomes in prelingual Arabic-speaking children using cochlear implants.
A systematic search for articles was performed in PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) using search strings developed from topic keywords.
The initial search identified 247 articles from the databases, but only 8 studies were included in the review. Auditory performance was found to improve, particularly sound and speech detection, as observed in the post-implantation assessments. Speech perception improved with an increased ability to discriminate speech sounds and comprehend conversations without lip-reading. Moreover, word recognition and auditory integration improved as well as speech production skills in terms of vocabulary use, consonant articulation, and word combinations. Likewise, speech intelligibility results were positive, with several children showing better speech intelligibility post-cochlear implantation.
Following CI, auditory skills, speech perception, speech production, listening skills, and speech intelligibility improved. Cochlear implants are a promising solution to reduce the effects of hearing loss in this population.
人工耳蜗已被证明可改善重度至极重度听力损失儿童的言语和语言能力。本综述探讨了使用人工耳蜗的阿拉伯语学前儿童的言语和语言结果。
使用从主题关键词中制定的搜索词，在PubMed、Scopus、ScienceDirect和Cochrane对照试验中央注册库（CENTRAL）中对文章进行系统检索。
初步检索从数据库中识别出247篇文章，但本综述仅纳入了8项研究。在植入后的评估中发现听觉表现有所改善，尤其是声音和言语检测。言语感知能力有所提高，在不借助唇读的情况下辨别语音和理解对话的能力增强。此外，单词识别和听觉整合能力得到改善，言语生成技能在词汇使用、辅音发音和单词组合方面也有所提高。同样，言语可懂度结果是积极的，一些儿童在人工耳蜗植入后表现出更好的言语可懂度。
人工耳蜗植入后，听觉技能、言语感知、言语生成、听力技能和言语可懂度均有所改善。人工耳蜗是减轻该人群听力损失影响的一种有前景的解决方案。
