Factors Affecting Visual-Only Speech Recognition in Individuals With Cochlear Implants

Conclusions: CI users followed a more complex method of perceptual compensation. Those who have suffered hearing loss between 3 and 8 years of age are more sensitive to developing an advantage in speech recognition by using speechreading. Older age positively affects speechreading abilities; thus, the more experience CI has, the greater speechreading ability they may exhibit.PMID:38404016 | DOI:10.1177/01455613241234821
