  • Title: Improvement in speech perception and production abilities in children using a multichannel cochlear implant.
    Author: Waltzman S, Cohen NL, Spivak L, Ying E, Brackett D, Shapiro W, Hoffman R.
    Journal: Laryngoscope; 1990 Mar; 100(3):240-3. PubMed ID: 2308447.
    Abstract:
    Nine children received the Nucleus multichannel cochlear prosthesis. The preoperative evaluation consisted of assessments of auditory function, speech recognition, linguistic skills, and speech production. There were no surgical complications, and recovery in all patients was uneventful. The device was programmed 4 to 5 weeks following surgery, and all children were conditioned to the task. Postoperative training began immediately following device stimulation and is ongoing. Auditory skills and speech production scales were devised to monitor each child's progress. All children have shown varying degrees of improvement in auditory skills and speech production using the implant alone.
