Benefits of Cochlear Implantation on the Whole Child: Longitudinal Changes in Cognition, Behavior, Parenting, and Health-Related Quality of Life

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Pediatric Cochlear Implantation

Abstract

Early cochlear implantation has multiple benefits for children with hearing loss. Longitudinal studies have shown improvements in visual attention, behavioral regulation, and health-related quality of life. Although tremendous gains in oral language have been documented, significant deficits in behavioral and social–emotional functioning remain. Currently, pediatric cochlear implant teams focus on remediation of audiological and oral language skills, but often ignore the impact of deafness on broader areas of functioning and the family system. This chapter provides a review of outcomes across several domains, with recommendations for family-centered interventions that have shown promise.
