“…In line with hypothesis 1d and previous findings from Uhlén et al (2017) and Hu et al (2021) , the LDN to changes in vowel duration was elicited for the NH group (for both age groups and time points of measurements) while not for the CI group. Thus, as we expected, it seems that while for children with NH aged 4–13 years, the cortical maturation and accuracy of change detection allows further cognitive processing of duration changes, this is not the case for their peers hearing with CIs.…”

“…(1d) Significant LDNs at group level will be elicited in the NH group, and especially for those changes that change word meaning in Finnish (vowel identity and duration changes, and gap insertions; Bishop et al, 2011 ; Kuuluvainen et al, 2016a ). The LDNs will not be elicited in the CI group, as observed by Hu et al (2021) ;…”

“…EEG is a non-invasive method, which can be used in small children, even in neonates (see, e.g., Partanen et al, 2013a ). The cortical processing of an auditory change is typically reflected in a chain of positive and negative ERP responses, each deflection corresponding to a different aspect of change detection, such as detection, attention call, and further processing (for a review, see Hu et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Singh also found that the longer was the duration of LDN response, the poorer was the auditory performance and speech intelligibility ( Singh, 2005 ). Hu et al (2021) studied in Mandarin-Chinese speaking children with NH and CIs, aged 7–13 years, the LDN responses to changes in lexical tones in monosyllable or four-syllable idiom (phrase) conditions. While the MMN was elicited in both child groups in both conditions (being smaller in the idiom context in children with CIs), the LDN was found only in the children with NH ( Hu et al, 2021 ; see also similar results by Uhlén et al, 2017 , for harmonical sine tones).…”

ObjectiveThe aim of the present study was to investigate speech processing development in children with normal hearing (NH) and cochlear implants (CI) groups using a multifeature event-related potential (ERP) paradigm. Singing is associated to enhanced attention and speech perception. Therefore, it’s connection to ERPs was investigated in the CI group.MethodsThe paradigm included five change types in a pseudoword: two easy- (duration, gap) and three difficult-to-detect (vowel, pitch, intensity) with CIs. The positive mismatch responses (pMMR), mismatch negativity (MMN), P3a and late differentiating negativity (LDN) responses of preschoolers (below 6 years 9 months) and schoolchildren (above 6 years 9 months) with NH or CIs at two time points (T1, T2) were investigated with Linear Mixed Modeling (LMM). For the CI group, the association of singing at home and ERP development was modeled with LMM.ResultsOverall, responses elicited by the easy- and difficult to detect changes differed between the CI and NH groups. Compared to the NH group, the CI group had smaller MMNs to vowel duration changes and gaps, larger P3a responses to gaps, and larger pMMRs and smaller LDNs to vowel identity changes. Preschoolers had smaller P3a responses and larger LDNs to gaps, and larger pMMRs to vowel identity changes than schoolchildren. In addition, the pMMRs to gaps increased from T1 to T2 in preschoolers. More parental singing in the CI group was associated with increasing pMMR and less parental singing with decreasing P3a amplitudes from T1 to T2.ConclusionThe multifeature paradigm is suitable for assessing cortical speech processing development in children. In children with CIs, cortical discrimination is often reflected in pMMR and P3a responses, and in MMN and LDN responses in children with NH. Moreover, the cortical speech discrimination of children with CIs is develops late, and over time and age, their speech sound change processing changes as does the processing of children with NH. Importantly, multisensory activities such as parental singing can lead to improvement in the discrimination and attention shifting toward speech changes in children with CIs. These novel results should be taken into account in future research and rehabilitation.

“…Our previous study found that when dealing with complex speech sounds, CI children showed smaller and slower mismatch negativity (MMN) and even an absence of the late discriminative negativity (LDN) compared with NH children ( Hu et al, 2021 ). Contrary to these late-latency ERPs, the robust P50-N100-P200 responses could be evoked by simple tone bursts, reflecting early processes of acoustic analysis.…”

Background: While a cochlear implant (CI) can restore access to audibility in deaf children, implanted children may still have difficulty in concentrating. Previous studies have revealed a close relationship between sensory gating and attention. However, whether CI children have deficient auditory sensory gating remains unclear.Methods: To address this issue, we measured the event-related potentials (ERPs), including P50, N100, and P200, evoked by paired tone bursts (S1 and S2) in CI children and normal-hearing (NH) controls. Suppressed amplitudes for S2 compared with S1 in these three ERPs reflected sensory gating during early and later phases, respectively. A Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham IV (SNAP-IV) scale was performed to assess the attentional performance.Results: Significant amplitude differences between S1 and S2 in N100 and P200 were observed in both NH and CI children, indicating the presence of sensory gating in the two groups. However, the P50 suppression was only found in NH children and not in CI children. Furthermore, the duration of deafness was significantly positively correlated with the score of inattention in CI children.Conclusion: Auditory sensory gating can develop but is deficient during the early phase in CI children. Long-term auditory deprivation has a negative effect on sensory gating and attentional performance.
