The Influence of Age at Implantation on Performance With a Cochlear Implant in Children

Abstract: These results confirm previous findings indicating continued improvement of speech recognition with time in implanted children. Furthermore, the results support the concept of the advantage of a younger age at implantation.

“…The difference in the age ranges, 3 versus 11 years, could lead to different results. Additionally, age at implantation effects have been found for other outcomes in other studies (Connor et al, 2000;Kileny et al, 2001;Kirk et al, 2002;Sharma, Dorman, & Spahr, 2002;Tyler et al, 2001). Importantly, these studies all shared the common finding that stronger language skills (vocabulary or syntax) are associated with stronger reading skills (Geers, 2003;.…”

“…Further, converging research indicates that multiple factors affect performance with the cochlear implant, including age at implantation (Connor, 1998; Connor, Hieber, Arts, & Zwolan, 2000;Kileny, Zwolan, & Ashbaugh, 2001;Tyler et al, 2001), age at onset of deafness (Geers, 2002;Geers et al, 2002;Osberger, 1994), pre-implant residual hearing (Zwolan et al, 1997), length of cochlear implant use (Tye-Murray et al, 1995), family characteristics (Geers, 2002;Geers et al, 2002), type of device (Connor et al, 2000), and device functioning (Geers, 2002;Geers et al, 2002). Research on the effect of communication method has been equivocal (Ash, Hodges, Butts, Schloffman, & Balkany, 1997; Connor et al., 2000; Cullington, Hodges, Butts, Donal-Ash, & Balkany, 2001; Geers et al, 2001;Hodges, Dolan, Balkany, Schloffman, & Butts, 1999;Miyamoto et al, 1999;Ninio, 1983;Zimmerman-Phillips & Murad, 1997).…”

“…It is possible therefore that the cost-effectiveness of implantation also varies according to the characteristics of the child. We focus on three characteristics which have previously been shown to exert a positive influence on the benefit associated with implantation: a younger age at implantation (Kileny, Zwolan, & Ashbaugh, 2001;Kirk, Miyamoto, Lento, Ying, O'Neill, & Fears, 2002;Miyamoto, et al, 1993;Nikolopoulos, O'Donoghue, & Archbold, 1999;Sharma, Dorman, & Spahr, 2002;Stacey, et al, 2006;Svirsky, Teoh, & Neuburger, 2004;Tyler, et al, 1997), a greater duration of implant use Tyler, et al, 1997), and a poorer preoperative average hearing level (AHL) Tyler, et al, 1997). If the cost-effectiveness of implantation varied with any of these variables, then it could be more cost-effective to implant some groups of children than others (e.g., younger children in preference to older children, or children with less favorable AHLs in preference to children with more favorable AHLs).…”

“…Similarly, a positive relationship has been shown between early age at implantation and enhanced cochlear implant (CI) performance in children. [3][4][5] There is little information, however, concerning the effect of age at implantation on meaningful listening skills in children as young as 12 months who undergo implantation. Evaluating device benefit in these young children poses significant challenges.…”
