However, few studies have examined the effect of amplification on brain structure in children with SNHL. This study evaluates a group of children with bilateral SNHL who were cochlear implant candidates.Objective/Design/Setting: To investigate whether the extent of HA use before cochlear implantation (CI) modulates neu… Show more
