Deaf children with cochlear implants before the age of 1 year: Comparison of preverbal communication with normally hearing children
چکیده انگلیسی

SummaryObjectivesTo compare preverbal behaviors of deaf children implanted under 1 year of age with age-matched hearing children.MethodsThe study assessed 20 children; 10 deaf children implanted under 1 year of age and 10 normally hearing children of the same age. Preverbal skills were measured before, 6 months, and 1 year after implantation, using Tait Video Analysis that is able to predict later speech outcomes in young implanted children.ResultsRegarding vocal turns, the normally hearing group outperformed the implanted group although the latter children became quite vocal, nearly 60% of their turns being taken in this way. The mean vocal autonomy in implanted children, 1 year after implantation, was very close to the respective of hearing children (38.5 versus 43.5). Regarding the non-looking vocal turns, by the 12-month interval, hearing children had somewhat higher scores than implanted children, but the difference was not significant and the increase in implanted children was much higher (40-fold increase versus 4-fold increase). However, implanted children were more likely to use silent communication than hearing children, although gestural turns were decreasing with time.ConclusionsThe small numbers in this study, although two of the largest European cochlear implant centers were combined to recruit such young implantees, led us to be cautious in interpreting the results. However, it seems that in deaf implanted children under 1 year of age, some preverbal communication behaviors are developing to an extent (although at a somewhat lower level) not significantly different from those of age-matched normally hearing children.
