  • Title: Parental expectations and outcomes of pediatric cochlear implantation.
    Author: Piazza E, Kandathil C, Carron JD.
    Journal: J Miss State Med Assoc; 2009 Oct; 50(10):331-6. PubMed ID: 20830961.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Cochlear implants have been used with increasing frequency over the past twenty years, including very young patients. OBJECTIVE: To determine if parents are satisfied with their children's performance after cochlear implantation. DESIGN: Survey mailed to parents of children receiving cochlear implants. RESULTS: 31 questionnaires were returned out of 69 mailed (45 %). The vast majority of responding parents felt that their children benefited substantially from cochlear implant surgery. CONCLUSION: Cochlear implantation is effective in helping children develop auditory-oral communication skills. Access to auditory/oral communication programs in this state remains an obstacle in postoperative habilitation.
