      cochlear implantion in prelingual deaf children].
PG  - 274-80
AB  - OBJECTIVE: To investigate the development of early auditory capability and speech 
      perception in the prelingual deaf children after cochlear implantation, and to 
      study the feasibility of currently available Chinese assessment instruments for 
      the evaluation of early auditory skill and speech perception in hearing-impaired 
      children. METHODS: A total of 83 children with severe-to-profound prelingual 
      hearing impairment participated in this study. Participants were divided into 
      four groups according to the age for surgery: A (1-2 years), B (2-3 years), C 
      (3-4 years) and D (4-5 years). The auditory skill and speech perception ability 
      of CI children were evaluated by trained audiologists using the 
      infant-toddler/meaningful auditory integration scale (IT-MAIS/MAIS) 
      questionnaire, the Mandarin Early Speech Perception (MESP) test and the Mandarin 
      Pediatric Speech Intelligibility (MPSI) test. The questionnaires were used in 
      face to face interviews with the parents or guardians. Each child was assessed 
      before the operation and 3 months, 6 months, 12 months after switch-on. RESULTS: 
      After cochlear implantation, early postoperative auditory development and speech 
      perception gradually improved. All MAIS/IT-MAIS scores showed a similar 
      increasing trend with the rehabilitation duration (F=5.743, P=0.007). 
      Preoperative and post operative MAIS/IT-MAIS scores of children in age group C 
      (3-4 years) was higher than that of other groups. Children who had longer hearing 
      aid experience before operation demonstrated higher MAIS/IT-MAIS scores than 
      those with little or no hearing aid experience (F=4.947, P=0.000). The MESP test 
      showed that, children were not able to perceive speech as well as detecting 
      speech signals. However as the duration of CI use increased, speech perception 
      ability also improved substantially. However, only about 40% of the subjects 
      could be evaluated using the most difficult subtest on the MPSI in quiet at 12 
      months after switch-on. As MCR decreased, the proportion of children who could be 
      tested using the MPSI reduced. CONCLUSIONS: Within one year after CI, children 
      develop early auditory and speech perception capabilities with time. Chinese 
      versions of the IT-MAIS/MAIS, MESP and MPSI are useful instruments to document 
      early auditory and speech perception skills in children after CI implantation.
