“…Our results revealed that MLU of CI children lags behind that of NH children up to age 6, but CI children caught up by age 7. This is in accordance with for instance Szagun [4], Schauwers [25], Ouellet, Le Normand and Cohen [26], Szagun [27], Nittrouer, Caldwell-Tarr, Sansom, Twersky and Lowensthein [28] and Nittrouer, Sansom, Low, Rice and Caldwell-Tarr [29], who all found lower MLU in CI children as compared to NH children. However, our results show that CI children have age-appropriate MLU scores by age 7.…”
