  • Title: Longitudinal evaluation of communication skills of children with single- or multichannel cochlear implants.
    Author: Miyamoto RT, Osberger MJ, Robbins AM, Myres WA, Kessler K, Pope ML.
    Journal: Am J Otol; 1992 May; 13(3):215-22. PubMed ID: 1609849.
    Abstract:
    Performance on speech perception, speech production, and language tests was measured over time in children who used the 3M/House or the Nucleus cochlear implant. The speech perception and production results demonstrated higher performance levels and faster rates of learning for the multichannel than for the single-channel users. The performance of the children with the single-channel implant on the speech perception and production measures reached a plateau by 1.5 years post implant, whereas the children using the multichannel device continued to show improvement after 2 or more years of implant use. Changes in language were limited over time with no obvious difference in performance as a function of type of implant.
