DETERMINE THE CLINICAL FEATURES AND EFFECTS OF AUDITORY REHABILITATION IN CHILDREN AFTER OF COCHLEAR IMPLANTATION
Main Article Content
Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the clinical features and effects of auditory rehabilitation in children after of cochlear implantation. Study design: Retrospective and prospective descriptive study. Method: Determine the clinical features and effect s of auditory rehabilitation in children according to the CAP scale. Result: Thirty nine children with congenital deafness (20 boys and 19 girls) who received cochlear implants at the Ho Chi Minh City Otorhinolaryngology Hospital (January 2018-April 2020) were included in this study. Age at CI ranged from 1 to 13 years (mean age was 3.92 ±2.87 years) and most underwent CI at the age of 3 years or less (61.54%). Number of children with cochlear implants one ear is 23/29 children (58.97%). The number of children with bilateral CI are 16/29 children (41.03%). At 1 year after CI, all children reached the CAP score at 5 points or more and 87.18% of cases had CAP score from 6 to 7 points. The mean CAP scores at 12 months after CI were 6.18 ±0.64 points. Conclusion: Thirty nine children with congenital deafness (20 boys and 19 girls) who received cochlear implants were included in this study. Age at CI ranged from 1 to 13 years and most underwent CI at the age of 3 years or less (61.54%). Number of children with cochlear implants one ear is 23/29 children (58.97%). The CAP scores of all children tended to increase sharply and return to near normal within 1 year after CI. Children with bilateral CI had better auditory performance than children with unilateral CI.
