  • Pediatric audiology
  • Speech-language pathology

Background:

  • Cochlear implantation is an established treatment for profound pediatric sensorineural hearing loss.
  • The decision involves ethical considerations and potential objections from the deaf community.
  • It necessitates significant family and healthcare system commitment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the multidisciplinary approach to pediatric cochlear implantation at Children's Hospital in Boston.
  • To outline the assessment, surgical procedure, and follow-up protocols.
  • To provide insights into managing the complexities of pediatric cochlear implant outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • A multidisciplinary team including surgeons, audiologists, speech-language pathologists, psychologists, nurses, and educators.
