Overview
The aim of this study was to identify the benefit of cochlear implantation in deaf blind children. The authors described the post-operative results of 5 prelingual deaf children. They evaluated the level of auditory perception, methods of communication and the ability of speech production. The results show that cochlear implantation can significantly improve the quantity of information from the external world and can help the advance of communication ability and the total development of these handicapped children.
Key words:
cochlear implantation, deaf blindness, prelingual deafness, auditory perception, communication, speech production.
