[Impact of CI use and CI fitting on speech production in very early cochlear-implanted infants].

CONCLUSION: Very early cochlear implanted infants may achieve age-appropriate speech production performance in the third year of life. Time of daily CI use in the study cohort is comparable to results of other studies. Time of daily CI use and exposure to speech seem to be important factors for early speech production. These findings should be integrated in pre- and postoperative parent counselling. PMID: 32930827 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
