چکیده
This article reports the relationships between a large number of child and family related factors and children’s functional outcomes, according to parental report, in the domains of spoken language communication, social skills and participation, academic achievement, and independence and identity, through a series of step-wise regression analyses. Parents of 247 children who had received cochlear implants in three eastern states of Australia completed a survey on their expectations and experiences of their children’s outcomes with cochlear implants. A number of the independent variables were found to be associated, either positively or negatively, with children’s outcomes. Implications for cochlear implant professionals, early intervention programs and educational authorities are discussed. Factors predicting outcomes of paediatric cochlear implantation

متن کاملInvestigating the Effect of Cochlear Size in Insertion of Electrode Depth in Patients with Cochlear Implantation evaluated by CT-Scan
Background Cochlear implant surgery is an invasive procedure for patients with bilateral Sensorineural hearing loss and may cause some risks such as cochlear damage. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of cochlear measures obtained by computed tomography (CT) scan in predicting depth of cochlear implant insertion. Materials and Methods This study was conducted in a retrospective and cross-se...
