“…In fact, most of these infants reached an average of 80-100% on the HIT-MAIS before 1 year postimplant. Our results are in keeping with the published data regarding age of implantation suggesting that for congenitally deaf children, earlier implantation leads to better auditory performance [1,14]. McConkey Robbins et al [1] for example, found using the IT-MAIS questionnaire that children implanted before the age of 2 years showed high scores, which fell within normative values compared to children implanted between 2 and 3 years of age.…”

“…Most studies to date, have primarily investigated the contribution of the child's demographic and hearing characteristics to performance. These characteristics include age of implantation, amount of residual hearing, mode of communication and family support [1][2][3]. Of the features related to the device, the majority of the research focused on the effect of speech coding strategy within the implanted device, usually in postlingually deafened adults and only a few focused on prelingually hearing-impaired children [4,5].…”

To compare performance after cochlear implantation in children with mutations in connexin (Cx) 26 (GJB2) or Cx30 (GJB6) and children with deafness of unknown etiology. Design: Genetic analysis and speech perception evaluation was performed in the children with and without Cx mutations who had undergone cochlear implantation. Speech perception performance was retrospectively analyzed 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 months after implantation. Test material was selected according to the child's age and cognitive and language abilities. Setting: The study took place at speech and hearing and genetic centers of a hospital in the central part of Israel and the genetics departments of 3 additional centrally located hospitals. Patients: A total of 30 children who had undergone cochlear implantation were selected for the study, with control patients matched according to age at implantation, duration of implant use, and mode of communication. There was no evidence for additional disabilities or handicaps in either group. Main Outcome Measures: Speech perception measurements included a questionnaire, as well as closed and open-set tests. Results: Overall, the 2 groups showed significant improvement in speech perception results after implantation. Four years after implantation, both groups achieved mean open-set speech perception scores of approximately 60%, 75%, and 90% for monosyllabic, 2 syllables, and words in sentences tests, respectively. Conclusions: There were no apparent differences in speech perception performance after implantation between the children with Cx mutations and children with deafness of unknown etiology. These data have important implications as a prognostic indicator when counseling candidates for cochlear implantation.
