“…Studies compared similar age groups, but 1 study [Holman et al, 2013] combined IT-MAIS with LittlEARS questionnaire scores, whereas only MAIS scores were applied in the study of Lesinski-Schiedat et al [2005]. Holman et al [2013] found over 60% of correct scores of their youngest implanted children at the 12-month follow-up. Similarly, Lesinski-Schiedat et al [2005] found over 70% correct answers at several subsets of the MAIS scores on their youngest group of implanted patients (<12 months) at the 1-year follow-up.…”

A Systematic Review to Define the Speech and Language Benefit of Early (<12 Months) Pediatric Cochlear Implantation

Objective: This review aimed to evaluate the additional benefit of pediatric cochlear implantation before 12 months of age considering improved speech and language development and auditory performance. Materials and Methods: We conducted a search in PubMed, EMBASE and CINAHL databases and included studies comparing groups with different ages at implantation and assessing speech perception and speech production, receptive language and/or auditory performance. We included studies with a high directness of evidence (DoE). Results: We retrieved 3,360 articles. Ten studies with a high DoE were included. Four articles with medium DoE were discussed in addition. Six studies compared infants implanted before 12 months with children implanted between 12 and 24 months. Follow-up ranged from 6 months to 9 years. Cochlear implantation before the age of 2 years is beneficial according to one speech perception score (phonetically balanced kindergarten combined with consonant-nucleus-consonant) but not on Glendonald auditory screening procedure scores. Implantation before 12 months resulted in better speech production (diagnostic evaluation of articulation and phonology and infant-toddler meaningful auditory integration scale), auditory performance (Categories of Auditory Performance-II score) and receptive language scores (2 out of 5; Preschool Language Scale combined with oral and written language skills and Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test). Conclusions: The current best evidence lacks level 1 evidence studies and consists mainly of cohort studies with a moderate to high risk of bias. Included studies showed consistent evidence that cochlear implantation should be performed early in life, but evidence is inconsistent on all speech and language outcome measures regarding the additional benefit of implantation before the age of 12 months. Long-term follow-up studies are necessary to provide insight on additional benefits of early pediatric cochlear implantation.

“…Some studies (Huber & Kipman, 2011;Stinson & Whitmire, 2000;Theunissen, et al, 2012) have shown that early implantation is beneficial both for functional and communication skills (Alegre et al 2014) and helps to prevent and reduce anxiety levels among students with hearing loss. This fact emphasizes the importance of early implantation as a mechanism to reduce the effects of language deprivation in children, in relation to the presence of emotional symptoms and behavioral problems (Bat-Chava & Deignan, 2001;Francis, Koch, Wyatt, & Niparko, 1999;Fellinger, Holzinger, & Pollard, 2012;Holman et al, 2013;Jiménez, 2011;Rodríguez, 2013).…”

“…In the case of children implanted between the ages of 9 and 14, low self-perception and exhibitions of solitude were greater to those of their hearing peers. These data highlight the importance of the benefits of early implantation in children (Francis, Koch, Wyatt, Niparko, 1999, Holman et al, 2013, Jimenez, 2011, Rodriguez, 2013.…”

Cochlear implantation has become increasingly accepted as an option for early implantation in the deaf. The aim of this study was to compare the opinions of 250 classroom teachers and 200 speech, language and hearing specialist teachers regarding the behavior and emotions of the students with cochlear implants using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), which is divided between 5 scales: a) emotional symptoms, b) conduct problems, c) prosocial behavior, d) peer relationship problems, and e) hyperactivity/inattention. The results have shown that there are important discrepancies between the two, both in the externalization of conduct problems and in prosocial behaviors, although there are notable coincidences related to attention factors and to the exceptional presence of emotional symptoms of these students in new situations.
