Assessment of outcome measures after audiological computer-based auditory training in cochlear implant children.

Objective: To validate the clinical use of acoustic change complex (ACC) as an objective outcome measure of auditory training in Egyptian cochlear implant (CI) children and explore how far electrophysiological measures could be correlated to behavioral measures in assessing training outcome. Also to explore the efficacy of computer-based auditory training programs (CBATP) in the rehabilitation process of CI children.

Methods: Sixty Arabic speaking children participated in the present study.

Development and standardization of Arabic words in noise test in Egyptian children.

Objectives: To develop and establish norms of Arabic Words in Noise test in Egyptian children.
