Insights
Early cochlear implantation (CI) and longer device duration significantly improve quality of life for children with hearing loss. Parental education and residence also impact outcomes, guiding tailored rehabilitation.
Area of Science:
- Audiology
- Pediatric Rehabilitation
- Quality of Life Research
Context:
- Children with hearing impairment often undergo cochlear implantation (CI) to improve auditory function.
- Assessing the quality of life (QoL) is crucial for understanding the holistic impact of CI.
- Developing individualized rehabilitation programs requires identifying key influencing factors.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the quality of life in children with cochlear implants (CI).
- To explore factors influencing the QoL of pediatric CI users.
- To establish a theoretical basis for comprehensive and individualized CI rehabilitation.
Summary:
- A study of 103 children with CI used the Mandarin Children with Cochlear Implants: Parental Perspectives Questionnaire.
- QoL scores across communication, function, independence, well-being, social relations, and education improved with age and duration of CI use.
- Key factors influencing QoL included age at implantation, duration of CI use, parental education level, and place of residence.
Impact:
- Findings support early cochlear implantation for children with hearing impairment.
- Emphasizes the importance of QoL assessment alongside audiological and speech outcomes.
- Aims to facilitate better social integration for children with CI into mainstream society.
Abstract:
Objective:To provide theoretical basis for developing comprehensive and individualized rehabilitation programs,we evaluate the quality of life on children with cochlear implants（CI）and explore the influencing factors.Method:One hundred and three children with CI using the Mandaren children with cochlear implants: parental perspectives questionnaire were rated from communication, basic functions,independence ability, well-being,social relations, education, effect and influence of cochlear implants,and the support for children.The comparison was made according to different groups between duration of cochlear implants and age at assessment.Result:With the increasing of age at evaluation and the duration of cochlear implants,the scores of children in each dimension were also increased gradually.Four important factors affecting the quality of life of children with cochlear implants were the age at implantation,the duration of cochlear implants,the level of education with parents and the place of residence.Conclusion:The children with hearing impairment should use the cochlear implants as early as possible.While paying attention to the effect of postoperative hearing and speech rehabilitation,we should pay more attention to the evaluation of the quality of life,so that the children with cochlear implants can return to the mainstream society better.

Metabolism
The basic function of an organism is to consume energy and molecules in foods, convert some of it into fuel for movement, sustain body functions, and build and maintain body structures. There are two types of reactions that accomplish this: anabolism and catabolism.
Anabolism is the process whereby...
