A 4-Year Investigation Into Phonetic Inventory Development in Young Cochlear Implant Users

Phonetic inventories of nine children (5 years old or younger) with profoundly impaired hearing who used the 22-electrode cochlear implant were monitored before implantation and during the first four years of implant use. Data suggested trends in the order of phone acquisition similar to those of no...

Summary:Phonetic inventories of nine children (5 years old or younger) with profoundly impaired hearing who used the 22-electrode cochlear implant were monitored before implantation and during the first four years of implant use. Data suggested trends in the order of phone acquisition similar to those of normally hearing children, although the process of acquisition occurred at a slower rate. (Author/DB)
