Summary

Pediatric cochlear implant (CI) recipients showed lower consonant production compared to typical hearing (TH) children. However, with more device experience, CI users achieved comparable speech sound production to TH peers.

Area of Science:

  • Speech-language pathology
  • Pediatric audiology
  • Developmental linguistics

Background:

  • Cochlear implants (CI) offer auditory input to children with severe to profound hearing loss.
  • Understanding consonant development in pediatric CI users is crucial for assessing speech outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate consonant inventory and accuracy in pediatric CI recipients.
  • To compare the speech production of CI users with typical hearing (TH) children.

Main Methods:

  • 129 pediatric CI recipients and 30 TH children participated.
  • Spontaneous speech samples were analyzed at 3.5 and 4.5 years.
  • Consonant production was measured using Percentage of Consonants Correct (CC) and Consonant Diversity (CD).

Main Results:

  • CI recipients demonstrated lower CC and CD scores than TH children.
  • Children with longer CI experience (32-38 months) at 3.5 years performed similarly to TH peers.
  • Both CC and CD measures effectively captured changes in consonant production skills.

Conclusions:

  • The study highlights the potential for CI users to achieve age-appropriate consonant production.
  • Early and consistent CI use may positively influence speech sound development.
  • The findings support the use of CC and CD for comprehensive speech assessment in pediatric CI users.
