Objectives: This study examined the relationship between working and short-term memory performance, and their effects on cochlear implant outcomes (speech perception and speech production) in cochlear implanted children aged 7-13 years. The study also compared the memory performance of cochlear implanted children with their normal hearing peers. Methods: Thirty-one cochlear impl...

background and aim: age implantation is one of the effective factors on speech production outcomes in cochlear implanted (ci) children. the purpose of this study is to determine the role of age implantation on formant frequencies and production of three persian vowels including /a/, /u/, /i/ in ci children. methods: sixty nine congenitally deaf children who received ci were divided into three g...

background and aim: one of the main objectives of cochlear implant surgery for parents, specialists, and trainers is that children can realize their needs using verbal communication skills. this is while there are a few instruments for evaluating children’s communication performance after cochlear implant surgery. the present study was conducted with the aim of adapting and investigating psycho...

introduction: cochlear implantation (ci) improves language skills among children with hearing loss. however, children with cis still fall short of fulfilling some other needs, including musical perception. this is often attributed to the biological, technological, and acoustic limitations of cis. emotions play a key role in the understanding and enjoyment of music. the present study aimed to in...

Cross-modal reorganization in the auditory cortex has been reported in deaf individuals. However, it is not well understood whether this compensatory reorganization induced by auditory deprivation recedes once the sensation of hearing is partially restored through a cochlear implant. The current study used electroencephalography source localization to examine cross-modal reorganization in the a...

background and aim: there is a controversy about cochlear implant usefulness for users since they do not develop speech and language with equal quality. many researchers by controlling demographic and medical variables in this population suggested the contribution of neuro­cognitive factors such as working memory to this variation. the aim of this study was to com­pare working memory capacity b...

objectives: profound hearing loss encounters children with delay in speech and language. as it is known language acquisition in young deaf children is a lengthy process, but cochlear implanted children have better spoken language skills than if they had not received the device. according to the importance of cochlear implant in deaf child's language development, this study evaluates the ef...

BACKGROUND Research suggests that for individuals with significant low-frequency hearing, implantation of a short-electrode cochlear implant may provide benefits of improved speech perception abilities. Because this strategy combines acoustic and electrical hearing within the same ear while at the same time preserving low-frequency residual acoustic hearing in both ears, localization abilities ...
