Satisfaction with life in a sample of prelingually deaf cochlear implant users with a good command of spoken Polish as the primary language

CONCLUSIONS: Prelingually deaf CI users with low SWL require psychological support in many spheres, including working through problems of deaf identity, self-acceptance, and depression. Additional research should involve diverse DHH CI users, including those with limited spoken Polish competency or sign language skills, as well as members of the Polish Deaf community.PMID:37683553 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2023.106370
