Description
Presented by Ruth Litovsky, Ph.D., professor, Department of Communicative Disorders. Cochlear implants (CIs) are being provided at an increasing rate, in particular to young children. While many bilateral CI users attain spoken language skills that are well within the range of performance seen in normal-hearing (NH) peers, CI users generally perform significantly worse than NH children on tasks that involve functioning in realistic, complex listening environments.
