“…Nurotron ® Cochlear Implants were officially approved for clinical use in August 2011 and have been used in paediatric patients over 1 year of age since July 2012. Nurotron ® is improved in Venus™ Cochlear Implant System based on the characteristics of Chinese pronunciation, which enables deaf children to understand the four-tone pronunciation of the Chinese language (Li et al., 2014, 2015; Gao et al., 2016). Because of the relatively short time since the initial clinical application of Nurotron ® cochlear implants, reliable long-term follow-up data from a large sample of patients have not yet been obtained.…”

Objectives This study aimed to assess the effect of hearing and speech rehabilitation in patients with Nurotron ® cochlear implants. Design Ninety-eight paediatric patients with bilateral severe-to-profound sensorineural deafness who received cochlear implantation were divided into three groups according to age: group A (≤3 years), group B (4–7 years), and group C (8–16 years). All patients were followed up for one year for hearing and speech performance after the surgery. The comprehensive Auditory Perception Assessment, MAIS, CAP and SIR hearing and speech assessments and rating materials were used for assessment before the surgery and at 3, 6, and 12 months after implant activation. Results The scores of patients in the open-set speech assessment, Chinese Auditory Perception Assessment, MAIS, CAP and SIR significantly improved after cochlear implantation in all age groups. The younger the age at implantation, the better the results. Moreover, the hearing and speech performance of cochlear implant recipients gradually improved with the extension of rehabilitation time. Conclusions Nurotron ® Venus™ cochlear implantation can improve the hearing and speech performance of patients with bilateral severe-to-profound sensorineural deafness.

“…Recent studies on Mandarin speaking CI children demonstrated considerable improvement in language development, but there are some controversial outcomes on benefits of early implantation [17,22]. For example, Li et al [22] recruited 22 prelingually deaf pediatric unilateral CI users and divided them into two groups according to their age at implantation was more or less than 36 months. They found that early implantation had no significantly positive effect on language development until 24 months post-implantation.…”

Objectives: The aim of this longitudinal follow-up study was to explore the trajectories of early auditory and language development in Mandarin speaking children younger than 3 years of age following switch-on of their cochlear implants (CIs). Methods: Early auditory and language development was measured longitudinally using the Infant-Toddler Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale (IT-MAIS), which is a commonly used tool for assessing early prelingual auditory development (EPLAD) in children, and the subtest (Words and Gestures, W&G) of the simplified short form version of the Mandarin Communicative Development Inventory (SSF-MCDI) to assess receptive and expressive vocabulary growths of children in 24 pediatric cochlea implant recipients at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months following switch-on. Age at switch-on ranged from 1 to 3 years of age. Participants were divided into two groups based on age at switch-on. The IT-MAIS and SSF-MCDI (W&G) scores were analyzed with comparison to normal children, unaided hearing-impaired children, and CI children. Results: Significant improvements in IT-MAIS and SSF-MCDI (W&G) scores from baseline to 12 months were seen after switch-on in both CI groups and were comparable to the normal hearing children in the first year of age. The IT-MAIS scores of CI children in both groups at 12 months after switch-on surpassed the average level of unaided peers with profound hearing loss and were similar to the average level of unaided peers with mild hearing loss. SSF-MCDI (W&G) scores in word comprehension and expression were significantly different between groups at some intervals. Conclusions: Children younger than 3 years of age with cochlear implants have similar trajectories in early auditory and language developments to normally hearing children. Moreover, early implantation is an important factor for the early auditory development when comparing EPLAD results between CI children and unaided peers with different hearing loss. Finally, it is noteworthy that CI children master the skill of word comprehension before the skill of word expression, and that word comprehension may be the basis of word expression.
