Abstract
Consistent with previous studies, children in this investigation demonstrated variable acoustic voice and speech changes following deactivation of their cochlear implant device. Few of these acoustic changes affected speech intelligibility. The results of this study overall suggest that during the initial years following implantation children who are deaf rely to some extent on the auditory feedback provided by a cochlear implant to control and modify F0, duration, and vowel formant production.
