Objective:
To assess the auditory performance of young children using a simple and valid test, the listening progress profile (LiP) after cochlear implantation.
Method:
In this prospective longitudinal study 21 children with age range from 3 years 4 months to 10 years were included. The listening progress profile test was administered pre- and post-implantation to assess auditory performance. The test has been applied at 6, 12, 24, and 36 month intervals.
Results:
It has been found that the test is sensitive in monitoring improvement in auditory performance at these intervals.
Conclusion:
It has been found that the listening progress profile (LiP) is valid to assess the changes in auditory performance of young children post-implantation.
