Abstract
Cochlear implant has shown tremendous promise in restoring auditory information to deaf children and concomitent improvement in speech recognition and production (Horn et al., 2005). However ther speech and language outcomes are quite variable. The main objective of the current study was to assess benefits of CI to prelingually deafened children with different speech and language outcomes measures and to study factors affecting these outcomes. Fourty five children were included in this study recruited from audiovestibular medicine unit of Assiut university hospital with prelingual severe to profound hearing loss, they had cochlear implantation at Assiut university hospital then enrolled in intensive rehabilitation program. Their age ranged between 4-12 years and they had implant experience for at least 1.6 years which was properly programmed and properly working. Children with other additional disabilities were excluded from this study.
