“…In recent years, cochlear implantation has been introduced as a major achievement of standardized medical engineering worldwide to treat severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss. [4][5][6][7][8] It has been shown that early identification and intervention have a significant positive effect on communication development in very young hearing-impaired children. 9,10 For example, Yoshinaga-Itano et al 11 found that infants whose hearing losses were identified and who were fit with hearing aids before 6 months of age demonstrated significantly better language scores than children identified after 6 months of age.…”

Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is an important risk factor for the development of linguistic abilities in children. In recent years, technological improvement and transition from hearing aids to cochlear implants from have showed a brighter image for the future of this children involved. However, there are many unknowns along this path. The present study attempted to address some of these unknowns by check the data from children treated at Khuzestan Cochlear Implant Center. Materials and methods: This study was performed on 104 children admitted to Khuzestan Cochlear Implant Center, Ahvaz, Iran. These children where children undergoing cochlear implantation were followed for one year and Categories of Auditory Performance (CAP) scores were recorded. Results: The results of this study showed that implantation age was inversely correlated with speech perception at the end of one year. Girls in the ninth month, monolingual children in the sixth and ninth month, and children with higher education mothers performed better results in the one-year follow up. Conclusion: Lower age at the time of cochlear implantation, being a girl, living in a monolingual environment, lack of accompanying disorders, and having a more educated mother can significantly improve children's performance.

“…Delay in identifying severe to deep childhood hearing loss may lead to losing the best periods for learning a language. In turn, this limits educational achievement, decreases occupational and social opportunities, and it upsets and worries the families of hearing-impaired children (20)(21)(22)(23)(24).…”

Background: Delay in early detecting of hearing loss (HL) and aural interposition in children have intense impacts on their speech and language expansion, academic progress, social skills, and psychological status. Objectives: The purpose of the current study was to assess the age of hesitancy, recognition, reinforcement, and interposition in children with bilateral severe to deep hearing loss. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on children who were candidates for cochlear implant surgery at Khuzestan Cochlear Implantation Center, Ahvaz, Iran. The rehabilitative histories and children’s medical were utilized to record ages of hesitancy, recognition, reinforcement, and interposition for both groups of “high-risk” and “not-high-risk” children. Paired sample t-test was used to evaluate the middle ages of children between the “high-risk” and “not-high risk” groups. Results: A total of 389 children (205 boys and 184 girls) were included. The mean ages of hearing loss hesitancy, hearing loss recognition, fitting the hearing reinforcement devices, and interposition were 10.7 ± 7.1, 15.75 ± 9.4, 21.81 ± 8.1, and 26.32 ± 9.2 months, respectively. The average delays between the ages of hesitancy and recognition: 3.74 (P < 0.0001); recognition and reinforcement: 5.05 (P < 0.0001); reinforcement and interposition: 2.83 months (P < 0.0001) were obtained. There were no significant statistical differences in terms of four studied ages among the high-risk (n = 129) and not-high risk (n = 260) children (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The outcomes showed that there is a significant improvement in the average ages of hearing loss hesitancy, recognition, reinforcement, and interposition in Iran. However, there is still an obvious difference between these ages and those recommended by the Joint Committee on Infant Hearing.
