    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To study the validation of rehabilitation for prelingually deafened children with cochlear implant and explore the relationship between the age and the rehabilitation effectiveness, and the change of the effectiveness over time. METHOD: Thirty-six investigated prelingually deafened children with cochlear implant were divided into two groups (< or = 3 years old and > 3-6 years old) according to the age of receiving the operation. The validation of rehabilitation was assessed at different times (3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months) after the devices began to work. RESULT: The longer the rehabilitation, the better the validation (P < 0.05). The speed of the younger group (less than 3 years old) is faster than the other group by the time (P < 0.05) in the auditory perception and speech. There is no significant difference between the two groups in intelligence. CONCLUSION: Prelingually deafened children should receive the cochlear implant as young as possible and take more rehabilitation training after the operation.
