  • Understanding parental expectations is crucial for assessing intervention success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate if cochlear implantation outcomes align with parental expectations.
  • To analyze parental perspectives before and up to three years after implantation.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective longitudinal study involving 43 parents of children undergoing cochlear implantation.

  • Parental expectations were met or exceeded across all follow-up intervals.
  • Significant improvements were observed in communication (98%) and speech listening (88%) by year 3.
  • Speech development was a consistent area of parental concern, though outcomes met expectations (86%).

Conclusions:

  • Cochlear implantation successfully meets or surpasses parental expectations in key areas.
  • The intervention positively impacts children's communication, listening abilities, and speech development.
  • Parental satisfaction is high, despite ongoing focus on speech development progress.
