Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Pediatric Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Significant technological advancements in assistive hearing devices have occurred.
  • Cochlear implants (CI) and wearable tactile aids are expanding spoken language access for deaf children.
  • The Nucleus 22 channel cochlear implant was approved for pediatric use in 1990.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline procedures for maximizing the benefits of cochlear implants for profoundly deaf children.
  • To prepare educators and audiologists for managing pediatric cochlear implant devices.
  • To address the ongoing need for listening and speaking skill instruction for children with cochlear implants.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current assistive hearing device technology.
  • Discussion of management protocols for cochlear implants in educational settings.
  • Guidance on device maintenance and monitoring for school personnel.

Main Results:

  • Cochlear implants have made spoken language more accessible to deaf children.
  • Increased pediatric CI use necessitates new skills for school-based professionals.
  • Effective management and instruction are crucial for optimal outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Profoundly deaf children can achieve significant benefits from cochlear implants with appropriate support.
  • School personnel require training to effectively manage and maintain cochlear implant devices.
  • Continued specialized instruction is essential for children utilizing cochlear implants to develop listening and speaking skills.
