Preimplant measures of preverbal communicative behavior as predictors of cochlear implant outcomes in children.

abstract：:The time course for reacquisition of spondee word recognition was examined for 27 patients who use the Ineraid cochlear implant. At 1 month postfitting, test scores ranged from 0 to 84% correct. The median score was 10% correct. At 22 to 28 months postfitting, the scores ranged from 0 to 100% correct. The median score...
