Parental Expectation and Perception of CI Benefits in Their Implanted Wards

Parent-reported quality of life in children with cochlear implants differs across countries

“…All these measures use parent proxy reports, in which parents appraise their child’s QoL; only one instrument ( Quality of Life—Cochlear Implant ) also has a self-report option for pediatric CI users to rate their own well-being relative to cochlear implantation. Fewer than five studies report on parent proxy QoL outcomes using each of the following measures: Survey of Parents of Pediatric Cochlear Implantees ( Christiansen and Leigh, 2004 ; Hyde et al, 2010 ); the Cochlear Implant Expectations Questionnaire ( Zaidman-Zait and Most, 2005 ; Hyde et al, 2010 ; Punch and Hyde, 2010 ), Parent Expectations Questionnaire for Cochlear Implants ( Kumar et al, 2016 ; Alam et al, 2019 ; Alkhatani, 2021 ; Halawani et al, 2021 ), and the Quality of Life—Cochlear Implant ( Hoffman et al, 2019 ; Cejas et al, 2021 ). The CCIPP reflects the most frequently used CI-specific QoL instrument worldwide (e.g., Incesulu et al, 2003 ; Nicholas and Geers, 2003 ; O’Neill et al, 2004 ; Nunes et al, 2005 ; Archbold et al, 2006 , 2008 ; Damen et al, 2007 ; Huttunen et al, 2009 ; Fortunato-Tavares et al, 2012 ; Sparreboom et al, 2012 ; Stefanini et al, 2014 ; de Almeida et al, 2015 ; Kumar et al, 2015 ; Yorgun et al, 2015 ; Asfour et al, 2018 ; Byckova et al, 2018 ; Zhao et al, 2018 ; Hassuji, 2019 ; Molla et al, 2019 ; Tokat et al, 2019 ; Brewis et al, 2020 ; Peker et al, 2020 ; Shahmahmood et al, 2020 ; Silva et al, 2020 , 2021 ; Anne et al, 2021 ; Yang et al, 2022 ; Zhang et al, 2022 ; Zhumabayev et al, 2022 ).…”
