Conclusion: In this study the outcomes from several indices (Category of Auditory Performance, CAP; Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (Revised), PPVT-R; Test of Reception of Grammar, TROG; and Speech Intellegibility Rating, SIR) in three groups of children with different ages at implantation (from 4 to 36 months) with a follow-up time from 4 to 9 years demonstrate that very early cochlear implantation (<11 months) provides normalization of audio-phonologic parameters with no complications.
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of cochlear implants (CIs) in infants who were implanted at < 11 months of age versus children operated at later age (i.e.
Cochlear implantation at under 12 months: report on 10 patients.

Objectives: There is growing evidence that early application of a cochlear implant in children affected by profound congenital hearing loss is of paramount importance for the development of an adequate auditory performance and language skills. For these reasons and as a result of advances in audiologic diagnosis and an enhanced awareness of the safety of cochlear implants, the age of implantation has substantially decreased over recent years. Children aged as little as 12 months are now being implanted in some centers.

Based on the audiologic, audioprosthetic, psychological and orthophonic criteria involved in the decision for a cochlear implant in 16 children (age 5 to 18), a protocol including 10 criteria was developed for children with severe deafness and a low to very low level of oral language acquisition. The importance of the motivation of the family, their capacity to become implicated and their desire to listen to the child and communicate orally with him, as well as the role of the specialist teachers were emphasized. In this series of 16 children the results of the implantation work-up lead to only 9 cases of implantation.
