Children with cochlear implants (CI) show distinct voice characteristics compared to their peers. This study found significant differences in speaking duration and intensity variations in CI users, offering insights for speech rehabilitation.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Speech-Language Pathology
  • Linguistics

Background:

  • Cochlear implants (CI) aid communication in deaf children but voice quality often differs from normal-hearing peers.
  • Objective and subjective voice analysis are crucial for understanding CI users' speech development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the voice characteristics of children with cochlear implants (CI) to those of normal-hearing children.
  • To identify specific acoustic and perceptual differences in the speech of CI users.

Main Methods:

  • Compared voice parameters (pitch, intensity, fluency, pauses, articulation, pleasantness, formants, duration) between a group of 8 children with CI and a control group.
  • Utilized the French standard text 'La bise et le soleil' for phonetic material analysis.

Main Results:

  • Significant differences observed in intensity variations between CI users and the control group.
  • Voice formants in CI users were not within typical normal ranges, though assessment was challenging.
  • The most prominent difference was in speaking duration, with CI users exhibiting altered speech timing.

Conclusions:

  • Cochlear implant use impacts speech production, particularly in terms of intensity modulation and speaking duration.
  • The findings highlight areas for targeted intervention in speech rehabilitation for children with CI.
  • Further research using this methodology can refine CI speech therapy strategies.
