abstract

objectives: this study examined the relationship between working and short-term memory performance, and their effects on cochlear implant outcomes (speech perception and speech production) in cochlear implanted children aged 7-13 years. the study also compared the memory performance of cochlear implanted children with their normal hearing peers. methods: thirty-one cochlear implanted children with a mean age of 121.52 months (~10 years) and sd=19.946 and 31 normal hearing children with a mean age 120.68 months (~10 years) and sd=18.137 participated in this study. their memory performance was assessed by working memory test battery for children (1), speech perception was measured by categories of auditory performance (2), and their speech production was assessed by speech intelligibility rating (3). finally, the data were analyzed using spss through its descriptive variables manova and spearman correlation coefficient. results: a significant and positive correlation was observed between working memory performance and cochlear implant outcomes. in addition, the children using cochlear implants had poorer performance compared to their normal hearing peers. discussion: this study demonstrated that the memory performance of children using cochlear implants has a significant effect on their speech production

Speech Intelligibility of Cochlear-Implanted and Normal-Hearing Children

Introduction: Speech intelligibility, the ability to be understood verbally by listeners, is the gold standard for assessing the effectiveness of cochlear implantation. Thus, the goal of this study was to compare the speech intelligibility between normal-hearing and cochlear-implanted children using the Persian intelligibility test.   Materials and Methods: Twenty-six cochlear-implanted childre...

relationship between working memory capacity and speech perception in noise among children with cochlear implant

background and aim: there is a controversy about cochlear implant usefulness for users since they do not develop speech and language with equal quality. many researchers by controlling demographic and medical variables in this population suggested the contribution of neuro­cognitive factors such as working memory to this variation. the aim of this study was to com­pare working memory capacity b...

The Relationship Between Reaction Time of Electrical Stapedius Reflex and Auditory Performance in Cochlear-Implanted Children

Background: A common concern in some cochlear-implanted children is the lack of desired progress in auditory and listening skills. Such a concern remains despite proper verbal processor programming, additional disabilities, and continuous participation in hearing rehabilitation programs. A more detailed assessment of pathways and centers of the auditory processing at the lower end of the brain ...

Correlation between Auditory Spectral Resolution and Speech Perception in Children with Cochlear Implants

Background: Variability in speech performance is a major concern for children with cochlear implants (CIs). Spectral resolution is an important acoustic component in speech perception. Considerable variability and limitations of spectral resolution in children with CIs may lead to individual differences in speech performance. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between auditory ...

Comparison of Auditory Perception in Cochlear Implanted Children with and without Additional Disabilities

Background: The number of children with cochlear implants who have other difficulties such as attention deficiency and cerebral palsy has increased dramatically. Despite the need for information on the results of cochlear implantation in this group, the available literature is extremely limited. We, therefore, sought to compare the levels of auditory perception in children with cochlear implant...
