Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate long-term outcomes of cochlear implantation in deaf children with Down syndrome, focusing on the impact of implantation age and preoperative factors on post-surgery auditory and speech performance.
- Nine children with Down syndrome were compared to 220 pediatric patients without additional disorders, categorized by age at first implantation, and assessed using a variety of auditory and language development scales.
- Results showed that, despite later implantation ages in children with Down syndrome, their auditory and speech abilities improved post-surgery, with a significant follow-up period averaging nearly 15 years.
