Abstract: Objective-Children with hearing loss who use cochlear implants have lower quality of life (QoL) in social situations and lower self-esteem than hearing peers. The child's QoL has been assessed primarily by asking the parent rather than asking the child. This poses a problem because parents have difficulty judging less observable aspects like self-esteem and socio-emotional functioning, the domains most affected by hearing loss.Methods-This case-control study evaluated QoL in 50 preschoolers using a cochlear im… Show more

“…Loy and colleagues (2010) found no significant differences between overall reported QOL for children with cochlear implants compared to their peers with normal hearing, in either younger (8-11 years) or older (12-16 years) groups, although the younger group rated QOL more highly than did the adolescent group. Others have reported similar findings for children of various ages (Huber, 2005;Warner-Czyz et al, 2009). …”

“…Hence, preoperative poorer life satisfaction among the mothers of children implanted "before" versus "after" 2 years of age in our cohort seems likely to be related to experiencing an unnecessarily high sense of urgency, anxiety, and pressure about accessing the implant option in the preoperative period [13] . Nonetheless, given the suggestion of a quicker and more complete adaptation to a cochlear implant in case of earlier interventions [22] , their life satisfaction scores seem to markedly improve in the postoperative period provided their expectations are realistic regarding their child's condition [13] .…”

“…Internationally published studies that relate to quality of life after cochlear implantation are gradually increasing in the literature [7][8][9] . Cochlear implantation has been performed for more than 20 years, and we estimate that there are approximately 9000 users in Turkey.…”
