“…Speech perception performance was assessed by using both SELSI [ 12 - 14 , 16 ] and Receptive and Expressive Vocabulary Test (REVT) [ 17 ] pre- and postoperatively according to the children’s chronological age. The SELSI and REVT tests are Korean version of screening tools for the evaluation of language and vocabulary development skills and have confirmed high consistency and reliability among preschool infants and children in Korea [ 12 - 14 , 18 ].…”

“…Especially, both tests include questions which can evaluate the degree of receptive and expressive language development in forms of raw scores and percentiles. REVT can be performed on chil-dren aged ≥2 years and SELSI on younger children, which gives an opportunity to measure speech development in a broader age range [16,17]. Numerous studies have detailed the extent of speech and language development using the SELSI and REVT tests [12,[18][19][20].…”

Objectives. The recent expansion of eligibility for cochlear implantation (CI) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to include infants as young as 9 months has reignited debates concerning the clinically appropriate cut-off age for pediatric CI. Our study compared the early postoperative trajectories of receptive and expressive language development in children who received CI before 9 months of age with those who received it between 9 and 12 months. This study involved a unique pediatric cohort with documented etiology, where the timing of CI was based on objective criteria and efforts were made to minimize the influence of parental socioeconomic status.Methods. A retrospective review of 98 pediatric implantees recruited at a tertiary referral center was conducted. The timing of CI was based on auditory and language criteria focused on the extent of delay corresponding to the bottom 1st percentile of language development among age-matched controls, with patients categorized into very early (CI at <9 months), early (CI at 9–12 months) and delayed (CI at 12–18 months) CI groups. Postoperative receptive/expressive language development was assessed using the Sequenced Language Scale for Infants receptive and expressive standardized scores and percentiles.Results. Only the very early CI group showed significant improvements in receptive language starting at 3 months post-CI, aligning with normal-hearing peers by 9 months and maintaining this level until age 2 years. During this period (<2 years), all improvements were more pronounced in receptive language than in expressive language.Conclusion. CI before 9 months of age significantly improved receptive language development compared to later CI, with improvements sustained at least up to the age of 2. This study supports the consideration of earlier CI, beyond pediatric Food and Drug Administration labeling criteria (>9 months), in children with profound deafness who have a clear deafness etiology and language development delays (<1st percentile).

This study aimed to compare the development of pronunciation in South Korean preschoolers with unilateral cochlear nerve deficiency (CND) to that of age-matched preschoolers with normal hearing, a topic that has not been explored previously. In a retrospective analysis, 25 preschoolers with unilateral CND who had undergone a speech evaluation battery, including a pronunciation and vocabulary test, were enrolled. Utilizing the Urimal Test of Articulation and Phonation and customized language ability tests, pronunciation and vocabulary were assessed. The subjects’ speech evaluation scores were converted into age-adjusted z-scores using normal controls’ data. While vocabulary performance was within normal limits, their average pronunciation z-score was -2.90, significantly lower than both the zero reference point and their vocabulary z-scores. None of the subjects scored above average in pronunciation. Thirteen patients were recommended for articulation therapy, seven were considered as potential candidates for this therapy, and the remaining five were within normal limits. There was no observed correlation between the development of pronunciation and vocabulary. Notably, some subjects’ pronunciation scores did not improve, even after serial follow-up during their preschool years. Despite typical vocabulary development, preschoolers with unilateral CND exhibit significant delays in pronunciation. These findings emphasize the necessity for vigilant monitoring of their language development.

Improvement of conversation and communication skills has often been regarded as a major feature of language development during school-age. The main purpose of this study was to describe the pragmatic language abilities of 9-year-old children. The current study also examined whether these abilities vary according to the child's gender and socioeconomic status (SES), and the effects of these factors on pragmatic language abilities. Methods: Performance data on the Children's Pragmatic Language Checklist (CPLC) and information regarding child and family characteristics were collected from 1386 children participating in the 'Panel Study on Korean Children (PSKC)' of the Korea Institute of Child Care and Education. Total and subtest scores of the CPLC were obtained for descriptive statistics and a one-way ANOVA and t-test were used to compare group differences, as well as a multiple regression analysis for seeking affecting factors for performance on the CPLC. Results: In general, 9-year-old children obtained good scores in CPLC total and subtest scores. Discourse management was relatively difficult when compared to the other sub-areas. The children's gender and SES (education level of mother, monthly family income) brought significant group differences, as well as the size of their residential areas. The educational level of the mother alone, along with the child's gender, affected the pragmatic abilities of 9-year-old children. Conclusion: The results of the current study showed that 9-year-old children have fair pragmatic, communication skills, and suggested that child gender and SES should be considered in assessment and intervention of pragmatic language abilities.
