“…Zheng and colleagues created MESP and established the threshold score for every category in 92 developmentally normal children between the ages of 2 and 5 years old [24]. MESP had also been evaluated for its practicability by assessing speech recognition in Mandarinspeaking pediatric CIs [25,26]. The English ESP contains four speech perception categories: Category 1 (Detection of Speech), Category 2 (Speech Pattern Perception), Category 3 (Some Word Identification), and Category 4 (Consistent Word Identification) [23].…”

“…Earlier the benefits and limitations of cochlear implants have been discussed using questionnaire based studies. Parents have expressed concerns in educational and social settings post implantation [3]. Such specific information can be obtained using parents as informants to document functions of the child at home and in other challenging environments.…”

Aim:The current study explores the benefits in children with cochlear implants (CI) from the parental perspective. The objective is to understand the concerns of parents in order to plan appropriate recommendations for habilitation and educational programs.Method: Fifty-three parents of children with CI completed the questionnaire titled, "Parental Perspectives on CI". The questionnaire consisted of 106 statements with 10 subsections that analyse the different aspects related to the pre and post -implantation process. Results:The study reported that parents are satisfied with the overall development of the child. However, they expressed significant concerns regarding recurring cost of the implant, distance, travel and also the future of the child with CI. Conclusion:Parents recognize that CI has made an overall positive impact on their children. They also recognize CI as a heavy financial liability post implantation that may not allow children to obtain the optimal benefit. The study also indicated that the government should initiate financial policies to provide the necessary support for habilitation and equipment maintenance.

“…Those results showed that the first year's performance of CAP and SIR in hearing impaired children has significantly improved, and the advancement is much better than the second years’ performance. We further compared those results with the study of deaf children evaluated by the CAP and SIR tests,[ 13 ] those comparisons suggested that deaf children made better progress in the first year habilitation, this tendency was consisted with that seen for other studies,[ 14 15 16 ] indicating that auditory and speech development in children with hearing loss may be relatively crucial in the first year's habilitation. In the clinical work, we should pay much attention on home-based early intervention in deaf infants and toddlers and encourage parents or caregivers to participate in habilitation activities.…”

Background:Early auditory and speech development in home-based early intervention of infants and toddlers with hearing loss younger than 2 years are still spare in China. This study aimed to observe the development of auditory and speech in deaf infants and toddlers who were fitted with hearing aids and/or received cochlear implantation between the chronological ages of 7–24 months, and analyze the effect of chronological age and recovery time on auditory and speech development in the course of home-based early intervention.Methods:This longitudinal study included 55 hearing impaired children with severe and profound binaural deafness, who were divided into Group A (7–12 months), Group B (13–18 months) and Group C (19–24 months) based on the chronological age. Categories auditory performance (CAP) and speech intelligibility rating scale (SIR) were used to evaluate auditory and speech development at baseline and 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months of habilitation. Descriptive statistics were used to describe demographic features and were analyzed by repeated measures analysis of variance.Results:With 24 months of hearing intervention, 78% of the patients were able to understand common phrases and conversation without lip-reading, 96% of the patients were intelligible to a listener. In three groups, children showed the rapid growth of trend features in each period of habilitation. CAP and SIR scores have developed rapidly within 24 months after fitted auxiliary device in Group A, which performed much better auditory and speech abilities than Group B (P < 0.05) and Group C (P < 0.05). Group B achieved better results than Group C, whereas no significant differences were observed between Group B and Group C (P > 0.05).Conclusions:The data suggested the early hearing intervention and home-based habilitation benefit auditory and speech development. Chronological age and recovery time may be major factors for aural verbal outcomes in hearing impaired children. The development of auditory and speech in hearing impaired children may be relatively crucial in the first year's habilitation after fitted with the auxiliary device.
